Well 'yes' and 'no'...

The Heritage Motor Centre is, as you rightly point out, known as the Land Rover museum - inccorectly so as they house all British Marques.

The new Land Rover Experience 'museum' will be opening shortly in Solihull, though.

Yes, let's hope it's better sprinklers than the motorcycle museum. . . . . .

still can't believe that, there was some truly unique stuff there, and some of it will probably not be restorable... Neither can I believe that what was a relatively new building complex didn't have effective fire precautions.

I reckon it's the building design that's crucial in fire prevention. A lot of quickly built places always seem to go whoomph in a fire - it spreads so quickly. Look at last night's fire on the M62 near Manchester - an entire motorway services destroyed in under an hour apparently!

A school burnt down near me about a year ago because it happened at night when the water company turn down the pressure to just a trickle. It took the Fire Brigade a long time to get full pressure, by then it was too late. On that basis, sprinklers may not be very effective at night.

Having had the dubious pleasure of using those services over recent months, I'd hazzard a guess that the speed of the fire was due to satisfied customers pouring petrol on!!!
