Meet at Highland Park Countdown carpark at 7:30am for a 7:45pm departure to convoy to the venue. We’ll be displaying our cars in order of age (the car’s age, not yours) so we’ll try to organise that before we depart.
Now we have a 6 week delay let's try for the biggest turnout to date, get those WoFs done and that paintwork shined up! It's always a huge event with already over 1000 cars registered. This year there is a Brit & Euro Revival "Goodwood"-esque theme so dress up yourself and your cars to suit. (Check out You Tube and the web for Goodwood Revival ideas). It's also our annual show and shine, time to show your Mini some love and present it at its best. The club has registered space for 60 cars so there is no need to register as individuals.
