That looks like Mini Technique in Pilling.
Fantastic place to know about if so.

Garage I worked in the 80's we bought in a lhd 120, we converted it to rhd drive piece of cake to do.
Mini steering rack clocks swapped over to r/h side job done in a morning.
A mate of mine bought it used it for a good few years till it fell to pieces.
It used to give people a bit of a fright quick little thing at the time.
The best repairs go un-noticed

Scrapped, Dumped, Neglected and Wrecked Mini's:
"Upload your pictures of wrecked and scrapped Mini's. Its a sad sight when you see one or find one but its a fact of life as with anything. These cars can be unloved or mistakenly smashed up but its worth recording it so that we can admire in memory a car that was once magnificent, new and cherished!"

Yes the Metro was sold in DK, here is one that was local to me.
Its a MG 1300, but not sure it its still around ? the pic is from 2009.
When we attended Mini Club DK,s winter meet, one of the guys turned up in a Blue Metro.

Some interesting cars on that flickr link
I imagine the 1961 Minivan has been saved?
The Marcos/Jem estate is totally crazy
Wonder what (if anything) has become of XLL 27 since it's much publicised sale a little while ago............
