Collectors will bring their iconic British motors along and line them up on the field in a sea of colour and character ready to be admired by visitors. 

Visitors can expect the classic Minis as well as the newer generations of the vehicle - which dates back to 1959. The car quickly became the essence of British culture and is still loved by many, even 66 years after it was first manufactured.
