Aaron Burns and John Azzopardi have launched a mobile gin bar business from a 1968 Morris Minor car, available to hire throughout Surrey and Sussex in the UK.

Burns and Azzopardi launched the business, named Gin and Bear It, as a mobile gin pop-up serving drinks from the vehicle, which is named ‘Aubrey’.

Both gin enthusiasts, Burns and Azzopardi started the business in Brighton after purchasing the car and realising it would make a “good pull-out bar”.

The classic car is named after Aubrey Beardsley, a Brighton-based illustrator who worked with Oscar Wilde during his career.

Burns told the Brighton & Hove Independent: “I wanted to go against female-naming conventions for cars and Aubrey is a very peculiarly British name that is associated with Brighton that seemed to fit the car.”
