London to Brighton Mini Run - May 15th 2011
London to Brighton Mini Run - May 15th 2011
It is often said that most drivers in Britain aged between 30 and 55 learnt to drive in a Mini. Here at QuickSilver, we fall into that category so we have more than a hot-spot for what could be the finest car ever designed? There are presently two classic Minis in the QuickSilver car park.
QuickSilver were there to join 2100 other Minis in the annual London to Brighton Mini run on Sunday May 15th – the biggest Mini event on the calendar.
It all started on Saturday, gathering at Crystal Palace in south London, the site of a very tight motor circuit used until the 1970s (and featured in one of the BBC’s 100 Greatest Sporting Moments see:

To get an early position, the lineup for the start began at 8:00 the previous evening and 12 hours later the swarm were released. Over 5 million Minis were manufactured and the survivors are now all in pretty good shape so nearly all entrants arrived in Brighton by late morning and lined up along the Sussex seafront for a day of Mini fun and Fish & Chips.
Barry’s Green Mini is a rare 1999 Mini John Cooper LE40 and has just been restored to as-new.
Paul’s Red Mini is a 1994 original rustfree survivor that has been backdated to 1970.
