The 5 at 5 Indulge in some MINI mania and nab an icon.

THE MINI ENJOYS enduring appeal. It is iconic and classic and celebrities of the sixties and seventies couldn’t get enough of them!

In fact, the Mini was a celebrity in its own right with a lead role in the film The Italian Job. It is popular because of its unconventional looks and for its excellent driving characteristics. Getting behind the wheel of a Mini is a fun experience and one guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

We’ve rounded up some of the best Minis offer, from the top-end dream car to the (slightly more) affordable.
