The Mini was manufactured by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000.

The original is considered a British icon of the 1960's and its space-saving front-wheel drive layout allowing 80% of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage, influenced a generation of car makers.

In 1999, the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century behind the Ford Model T.
