MINI Cooper

The MINI Cooper is the brand’s iconic two door car. Since it’s origins in 1959 is has been the face of the brand over its face generations. In 2001 BMW re-introduced the MINI in a totally new,  modern form.

Rethought from the ground-up, the new MINI Cooper immediately gained notoriety for its clever packaging, surprising performance and unique styling. Like the original it quickly became a multi-generational, global hit that has gone on to sell over 5 million cars over the years.
