Mini World – July 2019

The weekend of 30 May to 2 June saw Mini Club Jersey

and Classic Mini Breakfast Club of Jersey combine

to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Mini with a

‘60 for 60’ display at the annual Jersey International

Motoring Festival. In total 61 Minis made up the largest

single-make display at the show. Some Minis even

came from the UK, France and Guernsey to support the

event and also take part in cavalcades. There was also

a birthday cake to share. Saturday culminated with

Mini owners assembling for photo. Both clubs would

like to thank everyone who brought their Minis to the

show and helped to make it a weekend to remember.
