MINI2 attends a special preview event at Plant Oxford, previewing the new MINI to enthusiasts and clubs.

Saturday 28th October 2006, MINI UK held a special “VIP Preview Event” for MINI owners and enthusiasts, where the new second generation MINI was shown for the first time in public, ahead if it’s 18th November release date.

MINI enthusiasts from far and wide, including a number from MINI2, attended the event and had the chance to talk to Marcus Syring (MINI designer) and other members of the MINI team about their likes, dislikes, hope and fears for the next generation and beyond. The event also included a lengthy and very interesting factory tour where the new and current generation MINIs could be seen being built side by side.

As this was very much an event “for the people”, the best reports will be those from those who attended, so we’ve open upped a conversation on the MINI2 forums for just that. You can read the opinions and feedback from the event in the MINI2 forums here.
