The vehicle will start its tour on November 25, and will be driven around the UK by project creator Nicholas ‘Nico’ Martin who first took the initiative to hand-wrap his MINI in LED lights three years ago. In December 2020, he realized that his colourful MINI could be used to bring joy and positivity to people while also raising money for charities that are important to him.

This year, Nico sought support MINI UK, Festive Lights and Italian smart lighting company Twinkly, to increase the voltage on his project and make it bigger and better than ever. “I’m so pleased to be back with the Festive MINI charity tour. I just knew last year I had an opportunity to cheer people up and also to raise funds for charities," he said.
