DEWS (Downton Engineering Works Social Club) MINI WEEKEND

In a feast for all Mini enthusiasts, Downton Engineering, the original competition tuners of the car, celebrates 50 years of Alec Issigonis’s iconic motoring marvel at Gurston Down’s high speed hillclimb course in Wiltshire. In one of the largest collections of Minis ever seen at a single event, road cars and racers alike climb the British Championship hill in a series of demonstration runs.

1978 British Touring Car champion Richard Longman in his Patrick Motor Sport 1275 GT, the amazing twin Mini-engined Deep Sanderson of Chris Lawrence, the ex.works BMC rally car GRX 310D of Natalie Gilbert and the very original 1964 Cooper S of hillclimber-turned-historic rallyman Nicky Porter are just some of the cars featured, while the on-track action is backed up by in-depth interviews and exciting on-board footage.
