As most can imagine the Mini came about because of a fuel shortage in 1956. It was being rationed in the UK so BMC designed the space saving transverse engine front-wheel drive layout. It allowed 80% of the floor plan to be occupied by passengers and luggage. It even can occupy two 6'10 driver and front passenger. Introduced in 1959 and built through the 2000 it is one of the most iconic car designs of all time ranking up there with the Model T and VW Beetle. This particular Mini has been ow...ned by the current owner for more than ten years and has been used as a nice day daily driver. He imported the car and is registered as a 1976. The miles are believed to be accurate as the car runs and drives as that of a 60000 mile car. The tires and brakes are excellent has a new upgraded stereo and is an all around absolute blast drive.
