AMassive congratulations to Alex Miller on his haul of 3 trophies at our British Mini Day today including 1st in class, Best Interior and Best Mini Of The Day with his stunning R53 MINI Cooper S. With wide arches, unique water cooled Supercharger, air ride and a stunning interior.
A quite emotional Alex told us it was only the second time he had entered his MINI in a show. His R53 is a credit to the time he has spent on it. Well Done Alex.
Also a big thank you to everyone for taking part in Premier Concours and Show N Shine. We counted over 300 classic and modern Mini’s in the competition. Thank you for your amazing support
A red hot mid summer day at our British Mini Day at Himley Hall saw a red hot turn out of Mini’s of all ages and styles making quite a spectacular sight on the showground arena. With a full Concours and Show N Shine area plus a stunning display by 31 Mini Clubs. All to continue the celebrations of the 65th Birthday of the Mini that we all know and love.
It was so good to see so many classic Mini’s on show with some displaying a rally pedigree. All sparkling in the sunshine. From early 59 Morris Mini’s and many special editions as well, these are getting so rare now. We know our judges in Show N Shine really enjoyed taking the time and chatting to owners. One Mini in the 80’s class suffered an accident a while ago and the owner has rebuilt it exactly back to original including the black bumpers. It’s nice to see an original looking Mini.
We love a modern MINI and it is always good to see a superb turnout. Bearing in mind if you look at the MINI Y-Register stand some are now close to quarter of a century old. It was good to see visitors from Germany in there MINI. Did you see the latest MINI’s on the Sytner MINI stand.
The quality of the 31 clubs stands just took our breath away. They were so good. A mixture of old and new on the stands made for a lovely mix. Our judges could not resist giving the top award to Mini Girls UK, they just brought so much colour to the stand and a crazy display of fake cakes to celebrate Mini 65. Well done all the clubs and thank you for your amazing support as always
