Made an enquiry about a part I couldn't find anywhere else (rubber dust cap for the floor starter switch in a MK1) from Somerford Mini in the UK In the reply the following statement was on the bottom. Needless to say I ordered it along with the dust cap 
STOP PRESS CD parts catalogue now available - £4.00 It includes video footage of the last EVER Mini shell being built at Longbridge. This footage is EXCLUSIVE to Somerford Mini, runs for about 40 mins and must be seen! |

Got the CD yesterday - pays to read the fine print - its a video of the shell only - not through to complete car or any mechanicals anyway...interesting. Highly labour intensive - two guys to the assembly - one each side - starts with the floor pan with front end already attached - each guy fetches the panel brings it to the car - lots of hitting with a BFH - clamp - spot weld - another panel - more hitting with BFH - spot weld. At one point some hydrolic clamps swing up to hold the body rigid while the roof goes on - only part thats not 'hands on' so to speak. Haven't looked to see how big the file is but lothed to post it for downloading as its exclusive to Somerford - but if people ask nice it may email

Turns out the video is 340+Mb - bit big to email - I've decided to make copies of the whole CD with the Somerville catalogue and will have them at the Muster. |
