Mini Cars

The MINI started advertizing themselves in the name of Austin and Morris. MINI started with Mark 1 in 1959 to 1967, then came Mark 2 in 1967 till 1970. As their popularity grew so did their variants. Wolseley Hornet and Riley Elf, then Morris Mini Traveller and Austin Mini Countryman came in the next few years. They also launched a MINI van in 1960, which was produced till 1982. A few were produced location specifically. The ones that did rounds till the last are MINI Cooper and Cooper S. However, Mark 3 changed the the complete look of MINI cars with larger doors, etc. And now, MINI plans to start selling in India too. A hatchback by luxury car would surely be loved and welcomed by India. A country where small cars are the need and long cars a luxury owned by the riches, this hatchback could hit the Indian small car segment as favorites. MINI, a brand owned by BMW, designs and creates small cars. Initially it was owned by British Motors Corporation (BMC) and later on by its successors, the BMW. The great Sir Alec Issigonis, a genius, had designed and created the initial MINI single-handedly. What he designed was a small, safe, and economic car. But a wonder he created, a history follows it! A small car design goes as long as 40 years! Although, the car didn?t run well in its baby years, as it was considered ?odd? when it was launched in 1959. Only when the queen had a ride in it, was it seen as a fashion statement. And then it went on to be standing next to the Volkswagen Beetle, a status symbol of the riches. To estimate its success, all that one has to do is give a look to its logo, the name with wings?sure to fly high. Whatever be the variant, the cars were always the star stoppers in many movies they starred in. MINI is a much loved car in the whole of Europe, USA, China, Japan, South Korea, Middle East, South Africa, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, etc. Though it seems unlikely, but the hot, rough, and tough Lara Croft too liked the cute MINI!
