MINI Cooper history and evolution
The original Mini was born out of necessity in 1950s Britain. Due to fuel rationing, there was a need for small fuel-efficient cars. The British Motor Company introduced the first Mini in 1959 under their Austin and Morris brands. Racecar builder John Cooper saw potential in the petite four-seater, outfitting it with a more powerful engine. The resulting Austin Mini Cooper and Morris Mini Cooper debuted in 1961, followed shortly after by Mini Cooper S models in 1963. The Mini Cooper found success on the racetrack, winning the Monte Carlo Rally from 1964 to 1967. BMW acquired the Mini brand name in 1994, debuting the new MINI Cooper in 2002.Â
