Mini is considered to be the most well-liked British car and was manufactured by the British Motor Corporation from 1959 to 2000. Being a star of the 60s, the car was a benchmark for many other car manufacturers during its time. The Mini was also ranked second as the most significant car of the past century in an international poll. Sir Alec Issigonis is credited for the wonder design of this revolutionary car.

The Mini Seven had a water cooled engine that was placed transversely along with four cylinders. The car was different from its predecessors as it had a four speed transmission and a front wheel drive. It also came with lubricated engine oil. This paved the way for other cars that were produced since 1970 as they all used the same configuration.

The car retained the engine mounted fan by having the radiator placed on the left pat of the car. This helped a great deal in saving the vehicle length. The Suspension system of the Mini Seven had compact rubber cones and was designed at Moulton Development Limited by Alex Moulton. Although this made the car ride a little bumpier but it also gave it a go kart like handling which really increased the popularity of the car.

The hinged boot lid increased the luggage space of the car. The various technical modifications made to the car reduced the dimensions but helped in increasing the overall space for the driver and luggage. The 848cc engine gave the car a fair speed of 72mph. the registration of the design by Rover Group as trademark in 1990s explains the level of popularity which the car was able to manage.
