MINI Enjoy The Ride

It was in August 1959 that a talented designer named Sir Alec Issigonis breathed life into the MINI

. Regarded a genuinely hip car, the Mini (released towards the public as the Austin Seven) was originally fitted with an 850cc 34bhp motor. It is a straightforward & agile auto that could accommodate four adults. Fast forward to the actual year. The 2010 Mini John Cooper Convertible, with its 1.6-liter, four -cylinder unit and revved up direct fuel injection, shows the transformation that the popular automobile has undergone throughout the years.

It's the 1960s that the Mini is better remembered for. The 1st Mini Cooper hit the streets in 1961, powered by a 997cc motor with 55bhp. Automobile racing driver John Cooper developed the souped-up version with the Mini. In 1962, the Austin Seven was renamed Austin Mini. Then in 1963, 1071-cc engine with 70 brake horse power were incorporated within the Austin/Morris Mini Cooper 1071S.The Cooper S soared in popularity when the 91bhp Works spec vehicles won the Monte Carlo Rally from 1964 to 1967. In 1967 the mini underwent changes, notably wider rear windscreen, changed rear light clusters, and a new grille.

The Mini Clubman was established in the marketplace in 1969. In between the years 1969 to 1980, the Mini underwent a number of enhancements. It absolutely was restyled by former Ford designer Roy Haynes. Additional creature comforts were also added. Manufacture of the Mini Clubman and Mini Clubman Estate happened in the course of this era. In 1981, the Mini 1000 and Clubman estate incorporated enhanced equipment and renamed Mini HL. By 2000, BMW-engineered Mini Cooper debuted at the Paris Motor Show.

The MINI's phenomenal success is hinged on the fact that it is a compressed automobile perfect for crowded city streets. It is a brilliant mix of retro and up-to-date design, and most importantly, fun to drive. Car or truck buffs can expect fresher styling, far more engine upgrades and new, modern features while using the 2011 Mini.
