The Club
Sub-Branchs

The Mini Car Club of NSW was started over 40 years ago when a bunch of motoring enthusiasts pooled their resources in celebration of the small car that would redefine motoring forever.

Since its humble beginnings the Mini Car Club of NSW has grown to be one of the most strong and diverse motoring clubs in NSW and now boasts a membership of about 800.

The club has a long and proud history of success in motorsport and concourse events. The annual calendar also has a wide range of social events and opportunities to meet.

The club would like to extend a warm welcome to anyone who would like to join in and help keep the Mini spirit alive. Young or old, new to Mini's or an old pro, a rusty daily hack or a pristine show car, modified or standard, there is something for everyone in the The Mini Car Club of NSW.
