Twist and Shout

Today in 1963 'Twist an Shout' was released by The Beatles. They were playing in The Winter Gardens in Margate that evening.

All of the Beatles owned Minis - these two were spotted today on the ring road around Lincoln. Too tenuous a link?

Also, today in 1964 (50 years ago today), Ray Peters and Barry Hughes came first in Stage 11 of the Cavendish Rally in a Mini Cooper S.
