The grounds of Stonham Barns, near Stowmarket, were filled with 70 Minis this weekend, some old, some new, and some with a claim to fame.
Some owners had been camping there since Friday for the 'Mini Barn Bash,' enjoying live music in the evenings, but Sunday saw the grounds open to the public for the ‘Suffolk Mini Show.’
The event was organised by Carl George, chairman of Ipswich and Suffolk Mini Owners Club.
He said: “We’ve had all sorts of different classic Minis here, from 1959 right up to the modern electrics.
“We had a couple of cars from the Heartbeat TV series. We had the Heartbeat police van, which has been featured in around 18 episodes of the series.
“Then we had a classic 1967 Mini that’s been modified to be an electric car.”
Carl continued: “It won car of the show, and the owner has been giving people little rides around in it, so they can experience what it’s like in a Tesla-powered Mini.”
He said that with perfect weather, a raffle and prizes, the day had been a resounding success.
