2,500 Minis drive from London to Brighton

Over 2,500 Minis enthusiasts took to the roads this weekend to celebrate the British motoring icon’s 50th birthday.

After parking bumper to bumper, to take the world record for the most Minis to be parked together, they drove from London to Brighton.

The annual drive - now in its 46th year - sees owners of classic and modern Minis come together to show off their vehicles.

Amazingly, of the 2,500 drivers who took part there are understood to have been a couple who DIDN'T make an Italian Job joke or do a dodgy Michael Caine impression.
A spokesperson for the event said: "London to Brighton Mini Run is the biggest and best Mini event in the show calendar.

"Taking place each May it attracts entrants from all over the world, and it is a fantastic opportunity for owners to show off their pride and joy, and the public to take in the spectacle of around 2,500 Minis as they make the 55 mile pilgrimage."
