History of the MINI
1959 The Beginning of Greatness
The Mini is a small car that was produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 to 2000. Its designer, Sir Alec Issigonis could not have even dreamed of the impact his little car would have on the world of culture, society and of course automobiles.
1960-1969 The Evolution
Although the Mini saw through six decades it is always the 1960s for which it will be remembered for. These ten years saw the Mini go from a 'housewives shopping car' to the must have fashion accessory, via international stardom on the rally scene. The re-launch of the Cooper in 1990 brought about a much needed revival of interest in the Mini. The biggest change in the Mini came about in 1997 with the introduction of the twin-point injection engine with a front mounted radiator, this engine was introduced as standard in both the Mini and Cooper models along with safety features such as airbag and side impact bars in the doors.
2001 And Beyond
The launch of the New MINI produced by BMW in 2001 adds perhaps not a new chapter, rather a whole new book to the Mini story. The most popular British-made car, it has since been replaced by the New MINI which was launched in 2001. The original is considered an icon of the 1960s, and its space-saving front-wheel-drive layout influenced a generation of car-makers. In the international poll for the award of the world's most influential car of the twentieth century the Mini came second after the Ford Model T.
