Mini rescued

摘要

The Jurassic Coast Mini Club was approached by a local care home for the elderly and dementia sufferers who informed them that there was a Mini on their premises which they no longer needed and was in their way. Members went along to find a good, rust-free Mini with only minor parts missing. The fuel tank, electrics and all liquids had been removed to make it safe. However there was a slight problem, it was located on the first floor and there was no window or door large enough to remove it, with narrow stairs some distance away. It transpired that the Mini was lifted into the care home whilst it was being constructed, before the roof was put on. The club accepted the challenge and stripped the Mini down to a bare shell. It was not possible to remove it in one piece so they made the heart-breaking decision to cut the roof off and carry the shell down the stairs on its side.
