Few cars carry as much personality in such a compact package as the legendary Mini. From its 1959 debut, the BMC design stayed remarkably true to itself for more than four decades, offered under both Austin and Morris names and loved for its clever packaging, cheeky character and agile road feel. In 1961, the Mini Cooper brought motorsport energy to the story, taking race and rally stages by storm. Revived in the 1990s, the Mini Cooper 1.3i arrived in 1991 with a 1.3-liter (1,271 cc) fuel-injected engine, white roof, bonnet stripes, fog lamps, eight-spoke wheels and a sporty interior — all the ingredients for maximum character on minimum footprint. From 2001, the Mini name entered a new era under BMW Group, carrying the original icon’s spirit forward for a new generation.
