Description:

Debuting in 1959, the original Mini Cooper was introduced at the Rally of Monte Carlo and quickly found its way into the hearts of millions including the garages of Stars, Rock Icons and Royalty (Princess Anne). Purchased by BMW (along with Land Rover & Rover) in 1994, they spent the next 10 years painstakingly re-designing an old Icon. The MINI Hatchback Coupe, Convertible, Coupe' and Roadster were all built and released from the Oxford Plant in Cowley England. Update to 2004: This Special Edition , 1st Generation BMW Mini MC-40 #137 is finished, just like the 1964 original, in Chili Red complimented by a White Roof. Exactly as it was on the Original Monte Carlo Rally winning car.

The 1st generation MINI's were built 2001-2006. They have been followed by, what many call , a MINI on Steroids (Generation 2- 2007- till present) & have lost their 'cute' appeal as every panel is Larger, PLUS, THEY NO LONGER CARRY THE BMW ASPIRED MOTOR. Just another reason to seek out the 1st Generation. Kick the krud off your knickers and 'get with it'. ...buy yourself the perfect 'Toy'
