A car show will take place in Cowley tomorrow (Sunday) to celebrate the anniversaries of two cars manufactured at the Mini Plant.

Drive it Day, which will be held from 10am to 4pm inside and outside the visitor centre of the plant, will mark 30 years of the Rover 600 and 40 years of the Maestro.

A selection of the cars will be displayed and there will be cake to celebrate the anniversaries.

Classic car owners are also encouraged to bring their vehicles, with models of all descriptions welcomed, not just Cowley related ones.

The organisers have also encouraged past and present workers at the factory to attend the free event, which has free refreshments and ample parking.

Organiser Tanya Field said: “I'm delighted to be able to organise 2023's Drive it Day at Cowley and it's a wonderful opportunity for classic car drivers to come and join us, along with past and present Cowley employees and the local community; everyone is welcome and it's free of charge. 

“I am very grateful for the support of MINI Plant Oxford who have made it possible to hold the event.”

Drive it Day events happen around the country and have been organised at Cowley since 2014.

There will be a donation box for Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), the factory’s chosen charity.
