MINI fans flocked to the cinema to catch their favourite car on the big screen in a special charity preview of The Italian Job.
A convoy of Minis arrived at the Warner Village Cinema in Clifton Moor, York, last night.
The owners of the cars had been invited to watch a special screening of the film, a remake of the 1960s classic starring Michael Caine, days before its London premiere on September 15.
This version of The Italian Job sees three new Minis performing jaw-dropping stunts.
And after the audience gasped at the car's on-screen antics, they saw what the Mini could do in real life as driver Russ Swift performed his spectacular stunt show. There were also prizes awarded for the best-dressed Mini.
Proceeds from the preview, organised by Castle Mini in Clifton Moor, York, will go to the Whizzkids charity.
