Not sure what the record is nowadays, but I remeber being involved in the Mini 30th cavalcade @ Silverstone, it was reputed to be 10,000 minis

Is that correct? 10,000 Minis at Silverstone?

I heard that the current record is 269 Minis. This was an event organised my Derek Woodam Mini dealership, with a parade through the streets of Lytham St Annes on 28th March.

Please provide me with proof........I want to smash the current record

I've found this on a video I have, it a news item from "News at 10" on the birthday.... (sorry the sounds slightly out of sync)

also not 10,000 as previously said, but 5,000+ ( I was in that and I tell you it looked like 10,000 to me ! )

I've had to drop it on my myspace as it's too big for the forum to upload...

Not sure, but we need all the Mini we can to break and smash the current record. I lover the modern Mini, but I would love to see mass of the classics.
