Looks like one less Mini on show at Beaulieu!

"Jeremy Clarkson says he is saddened that Top Gear vehicles including the Mini featured in the first-ever car ski-jump attempt during the 2006 Winter Olympics special have reportedly been scrapped by the BBC .....Many of these cars were featured in the 'World of Top Gear' exhibition at the 'National Motor Museum', Beaulieu where they were displayed for fans to enjoy. The exhibit was recently closed after Top Gear was placed on indefinite hiatus following Freddie Flintoff’s near-fatal accident during filming in 2022."

"Taken from Top Gear series 7, episode 7 'Top Gear Winter Olympics'. Could a rocket-powered 1986 Mini jump farther than a skier from a downhill slope? The boys decided it was time to find out."
