As part of the launch plans, 20 Mini cars descended on the Stena Line terminal at Dublin Port recently, explained Diane Poole OBE, Head of PR and Communications, Stena Line.

“It was such a colourful sight, seeing all of the Minis at the port, our passengers loved every minute of it.

“In May 2017, lots of Mini owners will travel from Britain to Ireland to attend the International Mini Meeting and we hope during their trip they make time to discover more of what Ireland has to offer.”
