Nice to see it was also free in 1984 too!: -

Excellent collection of archive material there, thanks for providing it.

I was also at Mini 35 and Mini 40, but I just couldn't be bothered with Mini 45 and as for Mini 50, well my family has grown and the entry fee of £35.00 each means we'll probably give this one a miss too!

Thats a shame as I think this will be a good year for mini party's I will be at IMM & Mini50 along with our club comming from Jersey and just the ferry cost is £ 450...........See you there fellow TMFers.............

We'll still attend Mini Shows, but we'll be selective as we don't particularly want to be ripped off.

It's fine if your a single bloke, but not when you're with a family.

Even the MCR aren't impressed: -

Well I'm a father of 6 and still love to attend the big shows its taken me 6 months of extra work hours to save up for this trip in August and I hope to have My mini (Jennifer) ready for then ...................

WOW!
Thats one cool collection. Seems really weird looking at posters with my car on. Also as i wasn't even born then so couldn't really attend.
They really went all out on the merchandise. Mum would be happy with her apron. Dad would love the hat. Give the kids sweets. Lol
Amazing. Thanks for that

Just found the 1989 Mini 30 flyers on the net: -





And yes the entry was free, so long as you and your mates/family etc turned up in a Mini.

[taffy1967]

Still, £1.00 per person if you didn't turn up in a Mini wasn't exactly breaking the bank either?

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

There great, where abouts did you find them taffy?

I saw an original poster massive one, displayed at silverstone to advertise mini 25, but at £90 i just couldnt afford it

[taffy1967]

I found it on this interesting site: -
