And this year, on April 26th, our MINI community came together once again for another unforgettable Mile of MINI travelling from Plant Oxford to MINI UK HQ in Farnborough via scenic Oxfordshire roads, organised by fundraising group The Italian Job.

Adding to the iconic line-up was the appearance of the one millionth BMW Group-era MINI, first built at Plant Oxford back in 2007. Proudly displayed among the convoy, it served as a reminder of just how far the MINI story has travelled, and the passionate community still driving it forward today.

This year’s fundraising rally supported Stop Breathe Think, a charity helping children and young people across the UK access fast mental health support when they need it most. Thanks to the generosity of everyone involved, this year’s event raised an incredible £10,000, enough to fund around 300 counselling sessions for young people facing mental health challenges.
