    "We would like to turn this building into an Education Centre and Community Garage for Adults and young people with a Motorsport Qualification and other Automotive Qualifications. On top of this we would like to offer a meeting place (Eg ‘The Cooper Cafe’). A place for [M]ini and Classic Car owners to meet and share their common love of everything fast and Classic. A place where the old can reminisce and the young can learn."

    Heres a link to the realty company

    I also think BMW/MINI should step up and help.

    This sounds like a good cause.

    That's a surprisingly small building (especially for 1.8 million dollars). I didn't read or watch far enough to see what they wanted to do with the building. Museum?

    Hopefully they'll be able to be successful. That would make a great museum.
