This October we will be jumping in our R56 MINI, strapping on the seat belts and revving the engine like mad as we set off with up to 60 other like-minded MINI loving enthusiasts as we embark on the 2023 Italian Job run to Italy!
 
We are new to the MINI love affair being "Green Hats" (1st timers) at this event, we are fundraising for Buttle UK. The wheels of our MINI will spin to raise enough money to help families in crisis helped by Buttle UK.
 
We have a target of £1500 to raise and we’re aiming to smash it!
 
The annual Italian Job event began in 1990 and has raised over £3m for children’s charities across the UK and in other countries where teams 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. The Italian Job MINI cars will not outperform police cars through crowded Italian city centre streets, but will take part in a navigational trial 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 laid out in a cunningly created road book.
 
We are looking forward to this Italian adventure and are keen to ensure that our MINI performs as well as possible during the event. More importantly though, we want to ensure the success of the fundraising part of the event, so that families in crisis can in turn be helped by Buttle UK’s grant giving service.
