Car articles about Austin Mini Cooper 997 by year
In Germany in the early sixties, small cars had a hard time, the vehicles in the "upper" classes scored points with more powerful engines and more generous space and were simply better suited as status symbols. However, a very special compact car, built by the British Motor Corporation, was able to convince the trade press in particular, and even more so, to inspire them. How do you pack so much car into such a space-saving package? This article reproduces a test report from July 1962 and shows the pioneering compact car in extensive historical footage.
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.
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!
