The Italian Job Experience
Product Code: P00061

The Experience
Who can forget the amazing action of the Mini Coopers in 'The Italian Job'? Forty years later the Mini Cooper is back and there's no better way to enjoy one than on our Italian Job Experience. Inspired by the classic 60's film, this brand new event is a unique opportunity to discover how much fun driving a Mini Cooper really is.

The original Mini was the first real 'pocket rocket'. Today's versions are even more exciting. Small, agile and with amazing grip, these Minis will do almost anything a driver wants. Something participants will learn under guidance of experienced instructors. The safest racing lines and best driving techniques are explained before a series of demo laps with an instructor. Then drivers take a Mini Cooper onto the track themselves for some serious fun. Followed by the chance to drive the other star of 'The Italian Job' - the classic British sports car, the E-Type Jaguar. As a final homage to the film, drive a Mini Cooper through a demanding obstacle course. Also in the event is the chance to drive a 52 seater bus with all your spectators as passengers! Mamma Mia!

Your experience will end with a High-speed Passenger Ride with a professional racing driver, trust us at the end of this white knuckle ride your grip will have worn away the passenger door handle!

Fascinating Facts

The Italian Job is a British comedy caper film, directed by Peter Collinson and written by Troy Kennedy Martin. It was released in 1969 and was very popular in Britain, not least because of the presence of Michael Caine; subsequent television showings and outings on video have established it as something of a national institution in the UK, with a cult following elsewhere. In 2004 the magazine Total Film named The Italian Job the 27th greatest British film of all time.



- American distributors Paramount wanted Robert Redford to play the lead role.

- A great deal of the chase sequence was used in the MacGyver episode "The Thief of Budapest", as one might expect set in Budapest rather than Turin.

- The scene where the robbers' minis are chased through a sewer tunnel were filmed in the Sowe Valley Sewer Duplication system near the English city of Coventry
