Minis built at the Cowley car factory wowed motoring journalists by performed stunt displays at a Motor Show preview for the press.
Two years after the model was launched at the show, the BMW-owned firm Mini claimed a first by presenting its three models in a series of stunt displays inside the exhibition hall at the Birmingham NEC.
A record 90,000 advance tickets have been sold for the show and 650,000 visitors are expected to attend when the doors open to the public tomorrow. The Mini show will be held every hour.
