Hundred of honking, hooting Minis delighted holiday crowds by turning the centre of Coventry into a traffic wardens nightmare. The shopping precinct became an island refuge as the bumber-to-bumper procession came to an encircling halt in what is reckoned to be the worlds largest Mini traffic jam. It was the latest event in the World of Motoring Centenary celebrations. It attracted over 1, 400 vehicles from all over the country. As the massed mix of Minis, Mokes and Elfs joined in a celebratory honking of horns to mark the end of the jam, Martin Hone, MD of International Festival Services who organised the monster snarl-up said: Its got to be a world record. We ll be sending off to the Guiness Book of Records. Its all a bit of fun but its also a historical thing for Coventry. The procession had started with the very first Mini, which came off the production line back in 1959 - an Ivory-coloured Morris Minor, driven by Peter Mitchell of the British Motor Industrial Heritage Museum. Hot on the heels was the car that took the chequered flag for Paddy Hopkirk at Monte Carlo in 1964, still bearing its racing number.
