Mini - The Evolution Of A Driving Legend
The Mini has been a style icon even since its original inception in 1959. The combination of a cute and quirky little car which was not only great around town, was owned and driven by the rich and famous, but was also one of the most easily affordable vehicles available for the normal person in the street to both buy and maintain, propelled this automotive icon into being one of the most popular British-made cars ever.
From the time the first groundbreaking 850cc Morris Mini Minor rolled off the production line on 26 August 1959, the Sir Alec Issigonis’ designed Mini was destined for a big future.
