Mini being built at Longbridge by artist
An old-style Mini is being built once again at Longbridge in Birmingham, thanks to the artistic talents of one man.
Artist Stuart Whipps is taking apart a 1979 Mini 1275 GT and rebuilding it in a glass cabin on the old MG Rover site.
The public art project is designed to help record memories of what was once the home of British motor manufacturing.
