The mini is a true British icon; its invention was as a response to the Suez Crisis and subsequent fuel rationing of the late-1950s. The Mini quickly grew in popularity during the ‘Swinging Sixties’ when British culture was rich in art, music and fashion. As the vehicle that got anyone who was anyone around, the Mini was at the heart of this cultural revolution.

But that’s only half the story, of course – the unvarying popularity of the Mini throughout the last five decades has been its ability to offer a fun, exciting driving experience. The innovative design allows for a front wheel drive and a transversely mounted engine, which in turn enables a relatively decent engine to be fitted into such a small car. This ‘bigger on the inside’ quality was also reflected with the interior; the clever design of the Mini to comfortably fit in 4 people in a 10ft-long, 4ft-wide frame astounded many during its early days.

Despite its mass production days being well and truly behind it, the love for the classic Mini have never waned. This is why we at Mini Sport are delighted to be able to offer a complete service when it comes to providing spares and parts.
