With the goal of raising money for two charities near and dear to Nicholas “Nico” Martin, the Festive Mini is supported by Mini UK and its Oxford Plant.

“Back in 2019, I was invited to bring the Festive Mini to surprise Marcus Rooks, a remarkable young man who had been diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a hereditary disorder that results in muscle degeneration. It was amazing to see his face light up, serving as a reminder that the Festive Mini is truly unique and cheers so many people each year “Martin remembered.
