The National Metro & Mini Show 2018

What is the National Metro and Mini show?

The National Metro and Mini show is a one day show for all Metro, Mini and MINI ( BMW ) owners and all the variants that go with these iconic British cars. Both Metropower and Metro Owners Club will be in attendance which should see a great variety of cars, from the earliest 1980's A-Series right up to the modified performance Metros and Rover 100s.

Over 500 vehicles will be on display showing the variety of these small, but versatile marques. Through out the day there will be a number of competitive and social competitions taking place such as the 'Clean Me' award for the dirtiest car, the 'Beige' award for the most boring colour scheme, the 'Mini Me' award for the car that looks most like its owner and finally the 'Rusty but Running' award for the rustiest but road legal car (!)

Where?

The British Motor Museum is home to the world’s largest collection of historic British Cars; it boasts nearly 300 cars in its collection which span the classic, vintage and veteran eras.

Situated in the small village of Gaydon, Warwickshire, just off junction 12 of the M40. The Museum building is a spectacular piece of architecture with an art deco design, whilst the Collections Centre building is a modern contrast. Together they stand proudly in a beautifully landscaped setting of 65 acres, which rolls out onto the Warwickshire countryside.

The Museum and Collections Centre at the British Motor Museum house the collections of the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust which cares for the largest collection of historic British cars in the world, along with an archive containing more than one million objects, from photographs and film, to publicity material and technical records.

For Metro fans sights on display include:

• Metro-based MGF "pizza delivery" mule

• 6-cylinder Metro prototype
• the last ever Rover 100
