When BMC introduced the first Mini model in 1959, it revolutionized the automotive world with its compact design and affordability. Costing just £496, this small car achieved unprecedented success worldwide in a short time. This is reported by Autocar.co.uk reports .
By the early 1990s, the brand's new owner, Rover, began working on new projects to replace the model. However, after BMW acquired the British company in January 1994, serious differences in vision emerged between German and British engineers regarding what the new Mini should look like.
