The Mini Coupe is slowly heading into dealer showrooms this month and many are celebrating the arrival of the new model with a nice get together. Princeton Mini is anticipating the arrival of the new Mini Coupe and is holding a celebration with a preview of the new model with an event called Mini Motor-Tober.

The event will be held on Oct. 16 and will start at 10 am. It will include a road-rally and a winery party and a preview of the new Mini Coupe. Live in the area? Well, make sure you head on down and visit Princeton Mini.

We’ll most likely be present at the event as well so drop by and say hello.
