Off-road test drive for Mini fans

Readers can drive any of the Mini range and take the Mini Countryman off road at Rybrook Shrewsbury's ride and drive event on Sunday May, 15 at The Follies, Hawkestone Park.

The Mini range includes the Mini Hatch, the Mini Convertible, the Clubman and the Countryman.

The original street warrior, the Mini Hatch, breaks you out of monotony with just one rev.

Marvel at the award-winning technological wizardry, ground-skimming emissions and improved fuel consumption, while controlling the ear-to-ear grin that comes as standard.

Load it with gadgets, gizmos and options to create your personalised amusement park on wheels.

The Mini convertible is the ultimate open-air thrill-raiser. With unique design features, staggering performance and engineering inspired by the space race, the Convertible is not for the faint-hearted.

Choose from a range of efficient petrol engines or, for the first time, diesel engines and experience alfresco driving, Mini style.

Gripping the senses like it grips the road, the Mini Clubman is the edge hunter. Scorchingly sporty from bumper to bumper, Mini go-kart handling will leave you right at home in this urban thriller.

The Countryman has four doors and five seats and a boot big enough for your rocket pack. Perfect for a quick get-away for you and four sidekicks.

Buyers of a Mini One D or a Mini Cooper D from Rybrook will be exempt from road tax and congestion charge. The range starts from £11,810 on-the-road including 3 year warranty, emergency service, road fund licence, registration fee, delivery, plates and VAT.

To take part in the ride-and-drive, call Kate on 01743 452350 or email a contact number to event@rybrookmini.co.uk with choice of model or models to test and preferred time. Places are limited.
