1963 Austin MiniThe Mini is a small economy car made by the British Motor Corporation and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered a British icon of the 1960's. Its space-saving front-wheel drive layout - allowing 80 per cent of the area of the car's floor pan to be used for passengers and luggage - influenced a generation of car makers. The vehicle is in some ways considered the British equivalent of its German contemporary the Volkswagen Beetle, which enjoyed similar popularity in North America.
