Auch die Veranstalter des IMM 2003 haben auf Ihrer Webseite nicht verdeutlicht, ob sie New.MINI´s auf Ihrem IMM zulassen oder nicht.
read this, it is from the IMM organisation:
To all Mini Enthusiasts
We have indications that some Classic Mini owners feel that owners of New Minis should not be included in the IMM and other such events. While we understand the pride felt by these Classic Mini owners that their cars have a particular historic importance that is exclusive and cannot be replicated, we disagree, on several grounds, that New Minis should be excluded from the Mini clubs and their events.
All Mini owners, whether of 'Classic' or 'New' Minis, are enthusiasts of the Marque. Many of these enthusiasts own both types. The modern development of a classic car does not diminish the original. On the contrary, to actually revive a famous car, even in a new incarnation, is a tribute to the reputation and historic standing of the original. Every new Mini owner is an addition to the family of Mini enthusiasts, all of whom know where the legend began. These new owners carry the Mini banner alongside those who have preserved their classic cars and help to maintain and honour that legend.
We would therefore like to assure all owners of New Minis that they and their cars will be welcomed at the IMM this year and we look forward to many of these owners participating in what we expect to be an exceptionally successful and enjoyable event...
