Classic Mini Cooper found in underground car park after being forgotten about for 30 years – but it isn’t a happy ending
A CLASSIC Mini Cooper has been discovered in an underground car park after a lengthy stay.
Over its time inside, the poor Mini has suffered other cars driving into it and people stealing its parts.
The Mini was dragged into the daylight from its home beneath the surface together with a motorbike.
It's the Mini and bike were parked up by their owner sometime in the late 1990s or early 1990s.
Sadly the owner then passed away and the pair were forgotten about and left to rot.
The Yamaha motorbike doesn't look to be too far gone, but the Mini is in a right old state.

Its dented bumpers and missing headlights suggested that it has been driven into and abused during its time in the car park too.
With some of its windows gone or down, the Mini's interior also looks to be in a very bad way.

There are no shots of the engine bay, but it's safe to say this Mini won't be starting any time soon.
There's also a rare cloth sunroof which has partially rotted and is beyond saving after decades in the dark.
Sadly, because it'd cost so much to save and you can buy a classic Mini for less, it's unlikely anybody will bother saving it.
