  Hidden Heroes: Rover 45 2003 Model Year 20 Dec 2019 (News)
  The old ‘R65’ transmission was co-developed with PSA and Rover’s share of the intellectual property was kept by BMW to use in the new MINI, so MG Rover was buying in gearboxes at an inflated price. Its procurement department brokered a better deal from Ford, so some hasty reengineering was carried out and from MY2003 onwards, the 45 got the slick-shifting five-speeder from the Ford Focus - another car that was renowned for being great to drive.  So while the interior was clearly more Travelodge than The Ritz, with Formica-style dashboard inserts that looked like the bar in a working man’s club and a nasty aftermarket stereo, beyond that the 45 was way more than the sum of its parts.

  Four BMW Bubblecars in Historics 26th November Auction 17 Oct 2016 (News)
  This 1962 RHD Isetta 300 must be one of the last built in Brighton as the UK market took to the four wheels of Minis instead. The single cylinder 298cc engine produces 13HP giving a maximum top speed of 53mph for those brave enough. (When I had one in 1964 I was braver, and got 63 on the clock out of mine.)

  Wyman said, ‘I had the very first Mercedes that featured blacked-out windows. Everyone was getting black windows – Mick Jagger and Brian Jones did in their Minis. Mercedes had never done black windows though, so I had to contribute to the research on how to make them. It cost me about £350. ‘Then, of course, I got stopped all the time.
