I forgot to mention again that changing _800 to _1024 will give a larger version of any image if you want to see them in more detail.

Since my last visit the visitor centre has been completely refurbished, with the "MINI Story" posters and classic Minis featured, as well as a "fake tarmac" road covering the entire area. It looks like they're finally turning it into much more of a visitors/heritage centre for the Mini/MINI. Which can only add to the plant tour experience.

Excellent Paul. I'm loving that new dash with the wood & wood steering wheel, it never worked for me on the old new MINI, but on the 2nd gen, I think it looks ace. I must be getting old!!

I was struck by those photos, the classic Minis look great, so it's all changed - nice one MINI, more of this please
