Join us at The Motorist for Mini vs Abarth featuring KillAllChrome, a celebration of two of the most characterful performance brands ever to grace British roads. Whether your heart belongs to the supercharged whine of a classic MINI Cooper S, the unmistakable bark of an Abarth exhaust or the latest John Cooper Works models, this is a day dedicated to compact cars with huge personalities.

From original Minis and modern MINI hatchbacks to Abarth 595s, 695s and one-off custom builds, expect an incredible variety of cars filling the site throughout the day. Whether they’re factory fresh, subtly enhanced or heavily modified, every car has a story, and that’s exactly what makes this KillAllChrome event so special.

We’re delighted to once again welcome KillAllChrome, one of the UK’s best-known MINI and Abarth communities. Renowned for bringing together some of the cleanest, most creative and highest-quality builds in the country, KillAllChrome has become synonymous with a friendly, inclusive community and an eye for detail. Their events attract owners who take real pride in their cars, from perfectly executed OEM+ builds to head-turning show cars and everything in between.

Their last visit to The Motorist was one of the biggest MINI gatherings we’ve ever hosted. The venue was packed with beautifully presented cars, enthusiasts travelled from across the country to be part of the day, and the atmosphere was exactly what makes these events so enjoyable. Owners spent hours chatting, comparing builds, sharing ideas and celebrating the community that surrounds these iconic cars. This year promises to be even bigger.

Whether you’re firmly in Team MINI or proudly flying the flag for Team Abarth, expect plenty of friendly rivalry throughout the day. Browse rows of immaculate show cars, discover inspiration for your own build, meet owners from clubs across the UK and enjoy conversations with people who are just as passionate about these pocket rockets as you are.

The event isn’t just about the cars either. Throughout the day you’ll be able to enjoy everything The Motorist has to offer. Grab breakfast or lunch in the Drivers Lounge, enjoy fresh artisan coffee, browse the retail store and spend the day surrounded by one of the friendliest automotive communities in the country. Whether you’re visiting with friends, family or simply making the trip on your own, you’ll find a warm welcome waiting.

If you’re bringing your own MINI or Abarth, you’ll be joining one of the largest displays of these cars in the region. If you’re simply coming along to admire the machinery, expect everything from daily drivers and cherished classics to award-winning builds and track-inspired creations with KillAllChrome.

Entry is completely free, with no booking required. Simply arrive from 9:00am, cast your vote for your favourite side and enjoy a fantastic day celebrating two of the most entertaining performance marques on the road.

Whether you’re coming for the cars, the community, the coffee or the competition between MINI and Abarth, Mini vs Abarth featuring KillAllChrome is set to be one of the highlights of the year. We look forward to welcoming you to The Motorist.
