Stately home Himley Hall will be welcoming a whole heap of decaying and rusty Minis onto its splendid grounds after the British Mini Club announced this year's event theme would be based upon the 'rat-look'.
The BMC, which hosts a number of the Mini scene's leading events, is keen to help encourage owners to embrace the look which is so well known in the USA and within the VW scene.
Not sure what it's all about, well it's not just letting your Mini rust away, although done properly this could be effective. It's more of a styling process where you co-ordinate body panels to give a post-apocalyptic type look. This could be done simply by replacing a good bonnet with a rusty one, or by conditioning certain panels to rust evenly.
To some it might seem controversial, but done under supervision and maintained properly you could have a very cool Mini.
The best way to understand is to look at what others have done and use some creativity to put your own individual stamp on your design. Whatever you come up with, we're very excited to see the final outcome at Himley Hall on May 8.
