theSwitchback

As you will probably know, MINI is 50 today, and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the birth of a motoring legend there’s a big, no, a huge party planned at Silverstone on the 22nd to 24th May which is all part of the biennial MINI United festival of MINIs and music.

We’ll be there covering the event online for those who can’t make it, or for those who wish to look back gooey eyed in the future, but the fantastic news is that two of you could be there as well!

Tickets usually cost £35 per person (under 14s free), and we have one pair of tickets to give away to a lucky reader of theSwitchback!

That’s right, you could be there too, bopping on Friday night to Calvin Harris or belting out a tune along with Paul Weller on Saturday, watching MINIs racing around the Silverstone circuit and just soaking in the MINI vibes all weekend long.

To stand a chance of winning a pair of tickets to the MINI United event, answer this really, really simple question….

The Mini was first produced in:

• 1949
• 1959
• 1969

Contact us with what you believe to be the correct answer including your full name using our secure email contact form by Friday 15th May and we will email the winner, chosen at random, on Saturday 16th May to request an address to send your pair of MINI United tickets. UK residents only please, apologies to our overseas visitors.

Good luck to all who enter… We may see you at MINI United!
