A donation from the Mini plant is helping keep the former home of Oxford car magnate Lord Nuffield open to the public.
The plant has given a donation, understood to amount to thousands of pounds, to the National Trust to help it look after Nuffield Place, near Wallingford.
The house and gardens were given to the National Trust last year and opened to the public in April.
A campaign is running to keep the house open and carry out extensive conservation work.
