In this barnfind episode Jonny Smith heads to an overgrown garden in Bedfordshire where the late owner had bought and driven two generations of Mini Cooper before mysteriously parking them up after 10 years of use. It takes a few hours just to clear the trees and bushes in front of the garage door!
