The Mini is a small car that was made by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered a British icon of the 1960s, and its space-saving front-wheel-drive layout which allowed 80% 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 to its German contemporary, the Volkswagen Beetle, which enjoyed similar popularity in North America. In 1999, the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century, behind the Ford Model T.
This distinctive two-door car was designed for BMC by Sir Alec Issigonis. It was manufactured at the Longbridge and Cowley plants in England, the Victoria Park / Zetland British Motor Corporation (Australia) factory in Sydney, Australia, and later also in Spain (Authi), Belgium, Chile, Italy (Innocenti), Malta, Portugal, South Africa, Uruguay, Venezuela and Yugoslavia.
The Mini car logo has a simple design like other car logos. The MINI brand name was enclosed in a circle that looks like Harry Potter’s snitch. As simple as it is, Mini logo had tamed a lot of consumers to own a mini car. Another of its edge to other car logos is that mini logo bears the epic car of Mr. Bean( a screen character), model Leyland Mini 1000. With all of this popularity and efficiency behind the Mini logo, it is considered as one of the top car logos in the automobile world.
The launch of the New MINI produced by BMW in 2001 adds perhaps not a new chapter, rather a whole new book to the Mini story. The new MINI currently comes in three models, the standard MINI One with a 1.6 liter 90bhp Chrysler’s engine, the Cooper powered by a 115bhp version of the same engine and the Copper S adding a supercharger.
