James Hunt takes 3 trophies including the prestigious Mini Of The Day with his beautiful MK1 Mini at Himley Hall on the 1st August.
It was so wonderful to be back after 2 years and numerous re-arranged dates for Himley. Full support of Public Health England and others we could finally put on a show.
A packed Show N Shine with many superb Mini’s of all ages including a stunning Mini Clubman that had been driven 200 miles in the rain from Carlisle to be a part of the show. You would never know it had been wet as this Mini was so clean underneath. Maybe concours next time. Numerous turbo charged Mini’s as well. One had only only just had the clutch seal sorted on Friday. Steve Blakemore with his incredible Turbo Cooper telling us how much he was enjoying Show N Shine as it was so relaxing and great to chat to people.
Here is a question, when did you last see 2 ERA Turbo’s together at a show?How wonderful was that. We think, the green one might have been the same Mini that was launched at one of our shows way back in 1989. If anyone can confirm this please get in touch
Concours was excellent as always . Kindly sponsored by Branson Automotive, Auto Glym James Hunt’s MK1 Mini took the top prize of the day. But Vince and Fred with the incredible Lambo Door Gen 2 MINI run him a very close to the big prize of the day. It’s lovely to see everyone in concours taking the to chat to people about their pride and joys. All class winners won a a very nice bag of goodies from Auto Glym
The 90’s class is one to watch in the future with 3 Mini 40’s taking part and all top quality. Maybe one to keep an eye on at Stanford Hall in September.
Check out the full results below from a great day. Images of all winners collecting trophies available in the Himley album on facebook www.facebook.com/britishminiclub
