The Cooper Mini can trace its historical background to 1957 when Leonard Lord the president of the British Motor Corporation decided to develop a smaller car. At the time Britain was in an oil crisis and fuel efficient cars became a necessity.

In addition to this the car also had to compromise the space of the car with a passenger area that would take up sixty per cent of the overall space.
