Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit Wendy and Harry's JustGiving page.
The annual Italian Job event began in 1990 and has since then raised over £2.5 Million pounds for children’s charities across the UK and in other countries where teams have come from. Their motto has always been 'Raising money for children in a fun way'.
The Italian Job is one of the most fun events on the social motoring calendar, celebrating its landmark 25th anniversary in 2014.
The Italian Job Minis will (probably) not out perform police cars through crowded Italian city centre streets but will take part in a navigational rally, which is designed to take them well and truly off the beaten track. We will be expected to find our way along a pre-determined route using no GPS or maps but following a set of hand drawn instructions called Tulip Designs laid out in a road book. We're visiting Turin, the Fiat Factory (and roof!), Ferrari, Pagani and a number of other great locations in the region.

Whilst we've done road trips and bike rallies in Europe and Italy before, we though this was a chance to do something fun in the '67 Cooper, whilst giving something back to the community.
