As far as we know, this annual day out is the largest organised car club event in the world. It was first run in 1986 and each year since then has got bigger and better.
As its name suggests, the run consists of over 1500 minis driving in convoy from the start in Crystal Palace Park to the finish on Madeira Drive in Brighton. It's organised jointly by the London & Surrey Mini Owners Club and Mini Magazine and attracts Mini entusiasts from all over the world. It's an immensely enjoyable day and one of the things we miss most now we no longer have a mini is being able to join in.
The picture shows us in our first mini, just about to drive down Madeira Drive to the finish line on the 1997 run. Sadly, this was to be the last time we successfully completed the event.
