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 2011 the rally starts in Imola and follows an itinerary that involves a lap or two on a F1 racing circuit and a thrilling spin on the world famous roof top track Lingotto before ending somewhere in south-east England. Check the website for the latest itinerary.
