1973 Mini
Fantastic fun!! 1973 Innocenti Mini 1300cc With everything from major rallying and saloon car racing success to being the outright star of films such as The Italian Job, the Mini is a true icon of the 20th Century, not just as transportation, but as pop-art and contemporary design. But fifty years ago, to many, its designer Sir Alec Issigonis included, the notion that the Mini might have a future as anything other than basic transport was ridiculous and the idea of a high-performance version was laughable. One man though, saw it quite differently. Racing car manufacturer John Cooper already knew quite a bit about tuning BMCs A-Series engine - he was running the company;s Formula Junior effort at the time - and a test drive in a prototype Mini convinced him of the cars competition potential.
