Jack Cookson wins the British Mini Club’s prestigous Premier Concours Final, sponsored by Autoglym at Mini Fair 2019 at Bingley Hall on January 27th. All the winners from the British Mini Day at Himley 2018 came together to find the ultimate Concours winner
After coming close to winning the silver trophy in 2018 Jack finally managed to go one step further and become champion, along with the trophy to keep for 12 months Jack also recieved a cheque for £700. Against some very stiff competition against the likes of Ian Whitticase and Dave Rippard, Jack won through. Judged by two of the leading judges on the Mini scene today, Steve Moore (2018 Premier winner) and Dave Webb (from Car SOS and past Premier winner). Starting at 10:30 am they took 4 hours and judged every single Mini/MINI equally and debating the merits of every car. a points decision was made with Jack being declared the winner. Well done Jack.
Pride Of Ownership saw some top quality Mini’s on display in various classes from the 50’s right upto present day, Although it’s not only about the Mini’s this is also about the owners of the cars as well, it’s not a personality contest just how much you love your Mini and enthusiasm etc. One that we did enjoy, although not a prize winner, was the red 2000 mile Mini Mayfair owned by Alex Toon, this is certainly one rare Mini. Liam Edwards won overall Mini Of The Show
Some great club stands were built by Mini clubs from around the country, with a 60’s theme the SEL Kent MC ran out eventual winners
