Mini Adventure: 50 Years of the Iconic Small Car

For a car which was in production until as recently as 2000 they are rare on the roads these days but their design did last and went on for decade after decade. The cars simplicity of shape fittings instruments and driving is its tour de force and for 42 years it scarcely changed except beneath the bonnet. With its small slightly smiley radiator grills it has achieved a classic status and is as popular as ever today in its vintage form. Up and down the country thousands of enthusiasts parade their immaculate little cars at rallies and owners club shows. Never mind the dodgy electrics or sad susceptibility to rust revealed by the foot going through the floor this amazing little car is a true engineering classic and cultural icon.
