Austin Mini Van
(1960 - 1983)
Car articles about Austin Mini Van by year
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.
In 1968, the magazine 'hobby' compared the Japanese small car Honda N 360 (and its bigger brother N 600) with the Austin Mini 850 (and its sportier variant Mini 1000). Would the inexpensive Japanese car be able to take on the Mini from England, which has already matured into a classic? Is the Japanese bike suitable for European roads and requirements? The Honda performed excellently, but also revealed concept weaknesses. But even the English car did not master all disciplines of the comparison test with flying colors. This article reproduces the original wording of the test report and supplements the pictures taken at the time with archive photos and photos taken later.
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.
The Austin Mini was Alec Issigonis' masterpiece. The indestructible little car, which could comfortably transport four people in a length of just 3.05 meters, was built from 1959 to 2000. Rally and race victories also made it an icon in motorsport. The Mini concepts are still a role model today and the original Mini even outlived its successor, the Mini Metro. This report looks back on the history of the Mini, shows an almost new example from 1982 in detail and documents Mini enthusiasts with well over 120 photos, sales brochures, many further references and even the original instructions from 1960.
