The 2011 Mini Expo will be held at the Melbourne Showgrounds on Sunday 22nd May. The focus of this show will be Minis in Australia and Australian-built vehicles, but all classic Minis and new MINIs are welcome. The Expo will be open to visitors from 11:30 am to 4:30 pm.

The Expo is all under cover in the 10,000 square metre Exhibition Pavilion. (For those who came along to the previous Mini Show in 2009, that's double the space!) 

Admission fee to the 2011 MINI EXPO is $10.00 per person, with free entry for children under 12 (if accompanied by a paying adult).

The 2011 Mini Expo will include:

•  The Minis in Oz Show. A show 'n shine with cars grouped by model (850s, Coopers, Clubmans, Vans, etc). Owners of multiple entries can form their own group.
• Mini Car Market. An area for owners to display their Minis for private sale and can include rolling shells and part complete restorations.
• Mini Bits ‘n Pieces. An area for Mini enthusiasts to display Mini bits for private sale.
• Mini Minis. Mini Model enthusiasts can display models and to sell, swap or buy in a separate area or next to your display car.
• A Trade area for Mini Specialists offering spare parts and services.
• An area for Remote Control Cars - BYO (electric) cars - just for fun.
• A Trade area for sellers of car models and memorabilia.
• Kiddie’s entertainment.
• The Latest MINIs will be on display courtesy of MINI Australia.

Do you like good coffee? While you're at the Showgrounds, why not take a stroll to the Australian Coffee Festival and Cafe Biz for a unique coffee experience. You'll see some of the world's best baristas competing on stage, as well as a showcase of all things coffee. For Mini owners, entry is free. At the Coffee Festival registration desk, just say "I drive a Mini" and the $10 entry fee will be waived! Who said Minis were money pits?

A People's Choice award for the best car is sponsored by the East Keilor Branch of the Bendigo Bank.
