  Mini Mk1 (1959 - 1967) (Classics Reviews)
  Alec Issigonis’s cheap small car for BMC was innovative with its front-wheel drive and spacesaving transverse engine layout but, more than that, it was incredibly entertaining to drive, even if it took buyers quite a while to cotton on. The Mini had a personality that few small cars

  Mini Cooper 997 and 998 (1961 - 1969) (Classics Reviews)
  Mini creator Alec Issigonis was against the idea of aperformance version. Fortunately, his wishes didn’t prevail, and a legend was born in the 1961 Mini-Cooper, as tweaked by F1 guru John Cooper. The first cars used a 997cc twin-carb A-series; this was changed for a 998cc unit from
• 
  Mini Cooper 1071S (1963 - 1964) (Classics Reviews)
  John Cooper Garages had more experience with A-Series engines in the 1100cc racing class and put that knowledge to good use with the first Mini-Cooper S. Its enlarged 1071cc engine managed 70bhp and there were larger disc brakes to cope with its additional performance. Nothing much
• 
  Mini Moke (1964 - 1993) (Classics Reviews)
  The Mini Moke was originally the brainchild of Alec Issigonis, who conceived it as a lightweight, simple, flat-pack vehicle for the military. However, the armed forced didn't fall for the Moke, preferring to play it safe with Land-Rovers. Instead, BMC sold the Moke as a fun fashion accessory

  to almost 100mph. Single-colour paint schemes were available alongside the usual two-tone ones, making these Coopers great little Q-cars, as there wasn’t too much else to distinguish one from a standard Mini. Hydrolastic suspension was introduced in 1964, then an oil cooler and twin fuel tanks
• 
  Innocenti Mini (1965 - 1975) (Classics Reviews)
  The best known of Innocenti’s models, produced in a varitey of specifications including the original Mini Minor', the 'Mini t' (Traveller) and 'Mini Cooper', as pictured here. The Mini Cooper remained in production after manufacture of the equivalent UK models ceased. The Innocenti
• 
  Marcos Mini-Marcos GT (1965 - 1974) (Classics Reviews)
  The Mini-Marcos GT was one of many Mini-based sports cars, which proliferated during the early 1960s. It was one of the better regarded models, though, combining a lightweight low-drag fibreglass monocoque with the front-wheel-drive car’s drivetrain and suspension to produce one
• 
  Mini Mk2-Mk5 (1967 - 1992) (Classics Reviews)
  Such was the rightness of the original Mini, that once it had reached Mk3 form, there really wasn't much left to improve - and so, between the late 1960s and early '90s, very little materially changed, other than trim and equipment. The short-lived Mk2 (1967-69) had received a new grille
• 
  Mini 1275GT (1969 - 1980) (Classics Reviews)
  Seeking to save money, British Leyland replaced the Mini-Cooper with an uprated version of the Mini Clubman. However, just as the blunt-fronted Clubman lacked the character of the original Mini, so the 1275GT was a disappointment compared with the Cooper, with only a single-carburettor 1275cc
• 
  Mini Clubman (1969 - 1982) (Classics Reviews)
  The Clubman was British Leyland's attempt to modernise the Mini on a relatively tight budget. It had originally been intended as a hatchback, but ended up being little more than a smart revamp of the front-end. It was given a higher list price, and marketed as the upmarket Mini - a tactic

  Classic car insurance for 17, 18, 19, 20 & 25 year olds (Article)
  ? Ten years ago, classic car insurance was a bargain – a great way of getting experience of different cars without breaking the band. That’s changed now, but it’s all relative. Which means a quote of nearly a grand for a 1980s Mini is steep, but so is the £1750 policy on that 1.0
