Mini Celebrates Its 50th Anniversary

Thousands of Mini enthusiasts took to the roads over the weekend to celebrate Mini’s 50th anniversary.

More than 2,500 brightly coloured Minis made the pilgrimage to the coast in the London to Brighton run.

The annual run is now in its 46th year but this year was extra special for the organisers and participants who were celebrating 50 years since the first Mini rolled off the factory production line.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary the first 51 Minis to leave London were representatives from each year of production from 1959 – 2009. They left the park in production year order.
