MORE than 200 Minis could be taking to the streets tomorrow night to beat the crowds anxious to see the long-awaited remake of The Italian Job.

The owners have been invited to a special screening of the movie by dealer Victoria BMW and Mini, in Harrogate, North Yorkshire - beating even the glitterati who attend the London premiere a few days later.

Three new Minis star in the film and perform stunts around the streets of Los Angeles.

Victoria BMW and Mini general manager John Sedgwick, said: "We're expecting enough Mini owners to come along in their cars to create a real spectacle.

"It will be great for our customers to be among the first to see the cars in action in the movie."
