The Italian Job
Inspired by the 1969 film, the Italian Job is an annual sponsored Mini Cooper rally from Italy to Britain. Each two-man team is required to raise £1500, and the event has made over £2 million for children's charities.
Brighton-based Mini nut Freddie St George is the Noel Coward behind the
caper, with Michael Caine a patron. Minis are the cars of choice, but
any car that appears in the 1969 film can be used; Aston Martin DB4s,
E-type Jags and Alfa Giula police cars have all taken part.
In
2010 the rally starts in IMOLA, taking in Florence and Turin before
heading through France and ending somewhere in south-east England. Check
