Snowmobile Mini? Pickup Mini? Race car Mini?
You can take in the full Mini experience in one place and at one time courtesy of the BMW CCA Foundation’s latest exhibit: Minis To The Max: 65 Years of Spirited Adventures. It’s on display at The Ultimate Driving Museum in Greer, South Carolina, next to the BMW Performance Center.
The exhibit holds nearly 30 cars, from the original models through the latest special editions, plus custom ones like the Mini suited for winter detail.
The exhibit opened on May 1 and will run through January 18, 2025. The price to view the collection is only $12 and benefits the work that the Foundation does, including the Tire Rack Street Survival Program that teaches teenagers driver safety.
The exhibit is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
I had a 1965 Cooper 1275 S. Wish I still had it. Bought a 2002 Cooper S in 2001, still have it. Bought a new Countryman, did not like it , Bought anew Clubman, loved it so I bought a second new. Clubman. Now they are dropping the Clubman and can not get a manual transmission. MINIs do not wave to each other now. MINI IS LOSING IT"S WAY! I grew up with British sports cars. Have a Morgam +4 and a plus 8.
Good by MINI
I do miss my Innocenti Mini Cooper. Fun car and good times.
