(1965 - 1967)
Car articles about Austin Mini 850 by year
The predominant car on the roads of Germany, Austria and Switzerland in the early 1960s was the Volkswagen Beetle. Over the years, the Wolfsburg-based company had perfected it and made it better and more reliable step by step. However, a circle of competitors formed around Wolfsburg that were superior to the Beetle in terms of comfort, space, driving performance and economy ... and still lost out in the local market. This report characterizes the generation of thousands using the examples of the Austin Mini Cooper, DKW F12, Fiat 850, Ford Anglia, Morris 1100, Opel Kadett, Panhard PL17, Renault R8 and Simca 1000. The article is illustrated with over 120 archive photos and over a dozen original sales brochures.
In 1959, the Mini revolutionized the car world. But it did not remain alone, not even at the BMC. Over the years, many variants were created, one of which was the extended estate called the Morris Traveller or Austin Countryman, which could compete with many larger cars in terms of load capacity and was even superior to them in terms of elegance and driving dynamics. This driving report describes the history of the versatile little car and shows it in many current and historical pictures, supplemented by a sound sample.
When the Austin/Morris Cooper appeared in 1961, it was already seen as a very fast car. When the Cooper S was presented two years later, journalists described it as a rocket for the road. With 76 hp and just over 600 kg, it was capable of a lot more than 50 years ago, including three victories at the Monte Carlo Rally. Today, the Cooper S is a first-class cult car. This driving report is about a Morris Cooper S Mk I from 1967. It tells the story of the fast Minis and shows them in current and historical pictures. The sales brochure and sound samples are also included.
For most people, the VW Beetle is the Volkswagen par excellence, in every sense of the word. A car for the people, a people's car. And the Beetle was indeed an above-average success. But before it, Ford's Model T had already passed the 15 million mark, and in modern times the Toyota Corolla, VW Golf and Ford's F-series even managed to reach over 30 million, although they were not the only people's cars to do so. This report looks back at some selected production successes in car history and shows them in 200 pictures. A feast for the eyes!
Between 1964 and 1993, almost 50,000 Mini Moke vehicles were built, rustic leisure cars with little weather protection and dimensions and performance typical of small cars. The car, once designed as a military vehicle, is still popular today and now fetches prices that are more than ten times the original price. This report describes the varied history of the British anti-terrain vehicle and shows a vehicle from 1971 in many photos.
