Interesting find...

So, it's a wrecked Mini with the unsuccessful Clubman front. What makes it special, you ask? Well, the Mini Clubman 1275 GT is rare enough as it is, but this one has quite a bit of history.
This little car was used by the staff at the factory until somebody managed to drop a storage container on it in the late seventies. The workers secretly dumped it in the tunnels under Longbridge, where it stayed for thirty years as a hidden memorial of the British motor industry.

"Silverstone Auctions are proud to offer this salvaged Mini Clubman 1275 GT bodyshell that lay in the tunnels under the Longbridge factory for over 30 years, making it the last ever BL built Mini to leave the famous site."
