Minis at the Mill - Best Presented Competition

There are 6 'best presented' categories for entry, plus a people's choice and best in show trophies.

Entering is easy and FREE!

After you have parked your vehicle, make your way to the Hot Bricks marquee. Complete an entry form and hand it to one of our friendly volunteers. They will give you a flyer to display on the windscreen of your vehicle. Just pop the flyer under the wiper, so it doesn't blow away. Our judges use the flyer to identify the entrants.

Entries close at 12.00pm, be sure to enter before you get distracted by all the other cool cars parked nearby.

All categories / classes are judged on presentation, e.g. the modified category will be won by the best presented modified vehicle, not the most modified vehicle. (Which means, it definitely pays to spend a bit more time on that polish and shine).

The inclusion of each category / class in the year's event will depend on how many entries we get for each class. Hot Bricks may choose not to include a given category if there aren't enough vehicles represented and entered into that class / category.

Below are explanations about each class - some classes are self-explanatory, some are a little trickier. If you are still unsure, please do not hesitate to speak to someone in the marquee who will be able to guide you. If, for some reason the judges feel that you have entered the wrong class / category, they may approach you and suggest that you would do better in a different category.

Original

This class, as per the title, is for original specification vehicles. Be it that the vehicle has been preserved over the years or an authentic restoration, we're looking for the best presented example.

Modified

A popular category for many a rev-head, the vehicles in this class will have a greater level of modification. Alterations to the engine, body, paint and interior. No two modified minis are the same, and we're here to see them all! From highly polished street cars to rowdy weekend cruisers, there's a lot to see.

Moke

Originally conceived as a lightweight military vehicle, these roofless, doorless, straightforward vehicles have enjoyed a life of summer fun with their passionate owners for many years. All mokes are welcome, ranging from mild to wild.

Competition

No longer a street car, this is where outright performance comes at all costs. Typically, an elite level racer will be every bit as well presented but with a focus on speed and reliability to survive the rigours of motorsport use.

BMW Mini 'R' 

The MINI arrived in Australia in 2001 to much fanfare and quickly became a favourite of many. Classic styling with pin-sharp handling set the scene, and they continue to be enjoyed by many today. R50 Cooper through to R61 Paceman variants are all eligible.

BMW Mini 'F'

These third generation MINIS continue to embody the character of the MINI, some 60-odd years on from the original. F54 Clubman to F60 Countryman vehicles are all eligible.

People's Choice

This category is not restricted to any one type of vehicle, just your vote on the day for your favourite car.

Best in Show

This category is for the highest point scoring car of any category on the day.
