The Mini Story: The Original, the Cooper, the Legacy - YouTube

Back in 1959, BMC changed Britain's automotive landscape with the unveiling of the original Mini. 54 years on and the little saloon remains as charming and iconic as ever.
Graham Reid of the Heritage Garage is the West Coast's top expert on all things Mini. A restorer, customizer, and racer, Reid is a dedicated enthusiast and ardent lover of the UK's most recognizable automobile.
There's no one more fitting than he to explain the why's and how's of the Mini's enduring legacy.

Good work for a short clip.

I would, and have, driven a Mini across the country (U.S.), more than once. But 1/2 hour in a MINI and my back hurts!

Great clip, well edited, nice soundtrack and very professional.

What I like about it is that someone who had never driven a mini could watch it and think "that's very cool, I see the attraction"

Heaps better than someone with parkinsonism and a handy cam walking round a mini and banging on about "Downton out of Europe"
