The original Mini was launched to much fanfare and critical acclaim in August 1959. The first Minis were in fact branded Morris Mini Minor and were sold as a small, cheap, dependable family car, whose exterior size masked a surprisingly roomy interior, space enough for four adults and some luggage in the compact boot.
As the design matured, the Mini also became a rally car storming to victory in a number of world famous tracks. At Monte Carlo it dominated the lower engine size classes of various saloon series right up until the mid-1970s. As the swinging 60s came into full force the Mini became an icon of motoring, taking to the hearts of celebrities from Peter Sellers and John Lennon to even American film stars such as Steve McQueen. It was a car for all, and even took to the big screen in some well known films.
Today the Mini is 60, but it is still loved across the world.
