The National Metro & Mini Show 2020, celebrating 40 years of the Metro

A one day celebration of the two iconic British small car marques at the British Motor Museum. 2020 marks the 40th anniversary of the Austin Metro and 30th anniversary of the Rover Metro. Due to Covid-19 the BMC & Leyland show will also be taking place on the same day, providing even more cars to see at the show!

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.

Inside the museum's buildings you will find some of the historically important milestone vehicles such as the last Rover 100 produced, signed by almost 1200 people involved in Metro production. Also there will be the very first Mini ‘621 AOK’, the very last classic Mini produced at Longbridge ‘X411 JOP’ and the Monte Carlo Rally winning Mini’s of 1964, 1965 and 1967 for you to see.

If you’re bringing your Metro, Mini or MINI to the show, we will have competitions and awards for you to enter including Concours and a Show’n’Shine.

To celebrate the Metro anniversaries, BMM are offering FREE vehicle entry for Metros and Rover 100s
