Small car, big attitude: the classic Mini earned its place in automotive history by doing more with less. Produced from 1959 to 2000 and originally offered under both Austin and Morris badges, its ingenious front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout and space-smart 2-box design turned a body of just around three meters into a surprisingly roomy four-seater. With its wheels pushed proudly to the corners, the Mini became a blueprint for modern compact cars — and a natural-born entertainer. In 1964, the 1275S added extra punch with a 1,275 cc engine producing 75 hp, bringing unmistakable MINI agility and racing spirit to roads and rallies alike.
