The MINI is made in the UK......and therefore celebrates a British product made by Brits and exported all over the world.

Isn't that something to be proud of....or would we prefer it is made in the far east like everything else seems to be!

There was actually a classic Mini image projected on the house walls during the 1960's music section!!
The MINI feature was about a modern British family TODAY if you actually paid attention to the storyline when they pulled up at the house.........and most modern British families are going to be driving a modern MINI not a classic!

MINI Unveils "The Britalian Job"
MINI takes to London streets ahead of the Games in homage to 1969 classic film



Directed by Phil Churchward, the lead director on BBC’s Top Gear and using key members of the show’s production team, the action-packed film includes stunts performed in red, white and blue London 2012 special edition MINIs, against the backdrop of some of the capital’s most iconic landmarks including the Houses of Parliament and Knightsbridge.
The film features several references to the original movie, including MINIs emerging from the same Park Lane basement as used in the 1969 classic, traversing down the Duke of York Steps off the Mall, and a chase through London’s stunning Leadenhall market.
Double Olympic gold medallist, Daley Thompson, who masterminds the chase comments; “It’s been a great experience being involved in The Britalian Job – everyone in the cast became completely immersed in their roles and with seven Olympic Gold medals between us, we were obviously the right team for the job!”
The film climaxes in one final dramatic stunt in which the three MINIs perform a ten metre jump in close formation in front of the Olympic Stadium, as their pursuit of the biker reaches its peak.
Graham Biggs, Corporate Communications Director at BMW Group UK, adds; “The Italian Job is a classic and this was a great opportunity and the right time to have some fun with it in London. We wanted to make an exciting short film featuring British sporting heroes and three MINIs as the stars, in and around some of London's greatest landmarks, as the city prepares for The Games. We hope everybody enjoys it.”
