First produced by the British Motor Corporation back in 1959, the MINI made history with its transverse-mounted engine and boxy front-wheel-drive layout.

Since its rebirth in 2001 with manufacturer BMW, the MINI for its space saving design, solid engineering and low cost of ownership remains equally as popular today. Offering reliability, timeless style and practicality, the MINIs exterior look and feel has stayed true for several decades. The original 1959 two-door design is in fact the inspiration behind Rocketman the newest MINI concept car unveiled this year.
The MINI Cooper, Cooper convertible and Clubmans recent facelifts have added new front bumpers (meeting pedestrian-safety regulations in Europe) a lower grille and new fog-light surrounds. Five new wheel designs from 15 inches to 17 inches and added chrome trim options give the MINI an even sportier design, plus even more opportunities for unique owner customisation.
