Hi thought of posting some photos taken on Saturday 6th June 09 in Valletta our capital city of a small show held to celebrate 50 years of the Mini 1959-2009.
It was sponsored by the local agent who imports the New BMW MINI so hence the big number of them things!!!

















The oldest and the newest classic minis on display that day (1960 / 2000)
































And a nice beetle which was parked there;


Unfortunatelythere wasnt the amount of classic minis we had hoped for but biggest problem was that it was on a saturday (some people were at work) and on the day there were the elections for local councils in many villages + everywhere there were the elections for the members of the EU parliament!!

Hi

Nice to see even that amount of minis to turn out, I would be quite pleased with that!

Cheers for the pics!

A video of the event, you can see me drive by in the beginning of the video in the BMC076 and then right behind me is my surf blue mini driven by a friend of mine.
