[@SmashingPistons]

You DO live in there!

[@beardsandbangers]

Feels that way sometimes!

[@AutoAtlantica]

Fantastic to see these prototypes finally saved after languishing in a parking lot.

[@beardsandbangers]

It absolutely is.

Hello Rob what could of been thanks for sharing take care.

[@beardsandbangers]

Thank you Paul, indeed!

[@CarzwithJC_]

Great video Rob And what a lovely bunch of prototypes saved ! 😁

[@beardsandbangers]

Thank you! It's great news they are now in safe keeping.

[@Koulis_]

It's a tragedy how the British motor industry was left to whither and fade with these cars neglected the way they were. So good to see these important parts of automotive history being appreciated again.

[@beardsandbangers]

I couldn't agree more!

[@JonathanHealy-o7k]

Great to see these prototypes surviving and safe for posterity. Hope someone sees fit to replace the missing gear knob, rear badge and n/s wiper on the TF GT which, by the way, looks beautiful from all angles, and the starlight silver goes well with the grenadine interior. As for the RDX 60, it's way too derivative as others have pointed out, but interesting nonetheless to see the possible direction the company was thinking of going.

[@BartMGRX]

Great that these cars have been saved!

[@garymorris801]

The mini fab and the others really fab

[@stratac30]

Regarding the door handle or door release for the TF, it's under the door mirror. I remember reading about this car in 2005. There was hope that this MG would be introduced into the US market and there were plans for it to be built in Oklahoma. Does that Mini have a KAD twin cam head on it. KAD also did a 5 speed transmission for the Mini back in the 90's.

Thanks for the video, I had a ticket but was gutted to have to miss it after sitting in traffic for over 3 hours due to the M6 being closed before having to turn around and go home :/

[@beardsandbangers]

I heard about the M6. Poor you!

[@goblin457]

My 75s off the road atm so couldn't make it great video! Do we know what happened to the TCV?

[@tomdrives]

TCV is awaiting prep but is safe and sound.

[@goblin457]

@@tomdrives Awesome Tom

[@beardsandbangers]

Sorry to hear that but glad you could see it on my video! Thank you.

[@dreammaker730]

I really can’t get onboard with that rdx60. Even the dash style is similar in the signum. The tf coupe tho and the twin cam mini were things they should have made. Could imagine the tf coupe having a turbo or v6. Shame

[@beardsandbangers]

The Mini would have been a weapon. 160bhp in that little chassis!
