About Mini

The first Mini production run started in 1959 under the name “Morris Minor”. Alec Issigonis, a British engineer, designed and engineeredThe Mini. British Leyland produced the Mini from its inception until discontinuing the production in the year 2000. Minis between 1959 and 2000 had relatively little changes to the design or mechanicals of the car. In 2001, the iconic compact car underwent a complete makeover. This time however, BMW took the lead as they had purchased Rover Group (Formerly British Leyland). Since 2001, Minis saw unprecedented success. Several variants now exist, each with its sporty ‘S’ version and multiple engine choices.

The Mini’s we know today are vastly different from the original models. Minis come in a variety of formats suiting the needs of almost every customer. For the family, the Clubman model offers a large amount of space and comfort. For the adventurer, the Countryman is equipped with four-wheel drive and has enough ground clearance to tackle any terrain.
