An “announcement” that keeps the location secret is very wierd!
“… on sale tomorrow, something …”
They should have waited a few more days, and done it right!
I agree, Ian. What is the mystery?. Either the cat is totally out of the bag or it isn’t.
<a href="https://www.motoringfile.com/2008/07/08/50th-anniversary-of-mini-to-be-held-at-silverstone/" rel="nofollow">As reported previously</a> it’ll be at Silverstone.
Exactly. But why not announce it then?
WHEREVER in the merry ol’ Kingdom – should be WET, WONDERFUL, & WEXPENSIVE! 😉
We have a massive event at the start of May for Mini 50 so why not stay in the UK for a month and pull in both shows. We would love to see you
Got my reservations at the Travelodge Towcester Silverstone. Don’t want to miss this one. Anyone else going to be there?
