GOING THE EXTRA MILE FOR CHARITY.
MILE OF MINIS 2024.
THIS IS HOW WE GET TOGETHER…
Once again it was a true display of MINI community spirit at this year's Mile of MINIs driving day. The event took place on Sunday 28 April and saw MINI enthusiasts teaming up to bring together a fantastic collection of 150 MINI cars, from iconic 1960s classics to the latest MINI models. We even brought the latest MINI Countryman along for the ride.
Fuelled by enthusiasm and with a handy route book (plus the car in front) to follow, the drivers took the scenic route from MINI Plant Oxford to Coventry through some classic English countryside. And all to raise money for the amazing Buttle UK charity.
MINI AFTER MINI AFTER MINI.
Having driven from across the UK to rendezvous at Plant Oxford, the cars did a parade lap around the factory (just to make sure everything lined-up) and then the mile-long, multi-coloured convoy set off. Undaunted by the soggy British weather, the driver’s embraced their MINI spirit and explored the beautiful highways of Oxfordshire and South Warwickshire. Think rolling fields, twisting lanes, breath-taking views – and some very curious cows.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE WITH BUTTLE UK.
Our amazing MINI enthusiasts have a track record of raising money for charity. And this year they’ve done it again, collecting a whopping great £8,473.45 for Buttle UK. It’s a brilliant charity that supports children and young people facing desperate financial hardship. Supplying everything from beds and books to clothes and computers, Buttle UK covers all of its own admin costs, so every single penny raised goes towards helping children in crisis.
Let’s big it up for the event organisers too – the Italian Job. Since 1990 they’ve raised over £3 million for children’s charities. All we can say is bravo!
YOU CAN’T HAVE ENOUGH BIG LOVE.
The Mile of MINIs event is just one part of something much bigger – Big Love. Two little words that express an optimistic MINI attitude to life. It’s all about bringing people together and using the power of positivity to create a brighter future for all.
And you don’t even need a driver’s licence to be a part of it. Big Love welcomes everyone.
