Description Launched in 1959, the Mini helped to change automotive design, with its unique combination of aesthetics, space efficiency, engineering approach, and handling.
Alec Issigonis's masterpiece was an instant hit - not just with the buying public, but with celebrities and racers alike, from Sir Stirling Moss to 'The Fab Four'.
The Mini became a much-loved staple of the British car industry - a position that it has arguably enjoyed for 60 years and continues today.
