This week, the Mini<\/a> turned 60 years old. It was the car that brought with it a revolution in motoring. It would go on to become a pop culture icon and it would be a firm favourite the globe over for decades to come. And all this from an idle sketch, penned by a bright-eyed and determined Sir Alec Issigonis. He\u2019d given the world the Morris Minor, but it would be the Mini that would be the bedrock of Sir Alec\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n

The Mini<\/a> was clever for a number of reasons. First of all, with the original 850cc engine it was remarkably frugal, which for our cash-strapped nation was a huge selling point. It was small, but also practical, famously being able to house a family of five and their luggage. It was also revolutionary, with its transversely-mounted engine, in which the gearbox was fitted under the engine, thus saving on space. And of course, it was cute. And who doesn\u2019t like cute things?<\/p>\n

\"Mini,<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, given then Mini\u2019s popularity, you won\u2019t have to go far on the internet to find an article all about the history of the Mini. However, I wanted to take a different approach. You see, over the years, I have owned five Minis. Admittedly, it’s been a long time since my last one – some fifteen years in fact – but the love is still there, the Mini is still under my skin. I still adore this little car. And that, when it comes to the Mini, is key. Yes, it was a technological marvel in terms of drive and packaging, but the life of the Mini and its incredible popularity was perpetuated by us, the owners. It was the fanatics and the enthusiasts that saw the Mini and grabbed it with both hands, never letting it go in some cases. In a nutshell, Austin made a brilliant car, but it was, to my mind, the passionate following of the Mini outside the factory and the dealerships that secured its future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mini,<\/a><\/p>\n

The Mini is a very personal car, and by that I mean it\u2019s a car you choose because of its personality, because of its image and because of how much fun it is. You don\u2019t buy a Mini because you need a car, you buy a Mini because you want a Mini. So, on that basis, if you\u2019ve never owned one, allow me if you will, to explain just what makes Mini ownership so rewarding:<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019re a riot to drive<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

The suspension on the original Mini was a curious affair. No springs, neither leaf nor coil, just rubber cones and curious swing arms at the rear. You do get four normal shock absorbers, so as to not make the whole thing seem too weird. In reality though, the shocks aren\u2019t the key to the way the Mini handles. It\u2019s the rubber cones that serve as springs in the Mini\u2019s application. If that sounds rudimentary, that\u2019s because it is. Your Mini\u2019s suspension is basically four chunks of rubber.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Springs would have taken up too much space, and with space at a premium, that wasn\u2019t an option. That\u2019s why the cones were chosen. It wasn\u2019t for handling reasons. The fact the resultant handling characteristics were nothing short of amazing was mere luck. Austin knew the rubber solution would work, but little did it know <\/span>how well<\/span><\/i> it would work.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mini,<\/a><\/p>\n

The rubber cones serve to connect you to the car and what it\u2019s doing. As long as your shocks are in rude health, the ride isn\u2019t crashy or harsh. It is, however, alert and alive. My first car after passing my test was a Mini<\/a>, and it didn\u2019t matter that it was only a 998. It didn\u2019t matter that it only ran on three cylinders most of the time. All that mattered was how it handled. I made sure it had decent tyres and brakes, and that was all I needed. I could have more fun going 20mph than someone in a Porsche could have going 120mph. And it\u2019s that low speed, easily accessible fun factor that makes the Mini so captivating. You don\u2019t need to be Stirling Moss to have fun in a Mini, you just need to have a licence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019re simple to work on<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

At 17 I was interested in was girls and obtaining a better fake ID for Friday nights. I was not a mechanic. My spanner-weidling exploits have been more fervent in recent years, but back then my tool time mostly consisted of me shouting at things and hitting them with a hammer. Yet, despite my general teenage ineptitude, the Mini never baffled me or left me stumped. Which is good, because it broke down a lot. But when you buy one for \u00a3400, that\u2019ll happen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The A Series engine fitted to the Mini has around six moving parts and can normally be shouted into submission. The brakes are easy to work on, as is the suspension owing to its simplicity, and the whole thing is just nuts and bolts, basic parts bin stuff. Austin had to build the Mini to be attractively priced, so it didn\u2019t make it too complicated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mini,<\/a><\/p>\n

Even if you have to do something big, like remove the engine, you can do it by dropping out the front subframe on which everything sits. It\u2019s all frighteningly simple, but what\u2019s key is that it\u2019s logical. You won\u2019t be scuppered by hidden nuts or bolts. The Mini is a car you approach with spanners and logic, that\u2019s all you need. In fact, other than internal work to engine, there is nothing you can\u2019t do to a Mini on your own driveway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The enthusiast scene is vast<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Owning a classic car can be a lot easier and a lot more fun if there is a large and supportive following for said classic. The Mini, happily, is probably at the top of the pile on that front. Not only are there countless owner\u2019s clubs up and down the country, as well as larger national clubs, there is also a bustling aftermarket for them. So whether you\u2019re looking to restore a classic, or if you want to personalise your Mini to make it truly yours, or if you want to get out there with like minded enthusiasts, there is something for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This huge following also takes the stress out of Mini ownership. You can be a complete automotive novice, it doesn\u2019t matter. Buy a Mini and there will be an expert or an enthusiast no further than a call or email away, and they will almost always be willing to help. Mini ownership is all-encompassing for many, and as such, they will go above and beyond to help you out.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mini,<\/a><\/p>\n

This was how I got into Minis. By best friend had one, his brothers both had them, his eldest brother\u2019s girlfriend had one so it seemed right for me to get one, and when I did, my friends and fellow enthusiasts were on hand to help me keep mine on the road. It was brilliant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They connect generations<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

In an age of cars full of computers and as such, lacking any sense of soul or heart, old cars are more important than ever. The Mini is perhaps one of the most important, as it\u2019s a car that carries with it a natural bridge between generations. If your mum and dad didn\u2019t have a Mini, I\u2019ll bet my bottom dollar they knew someone who did. Minis connect us, there is almost always a family link to a Mini, and that\u2019s something you feel a duty to carry on. The cars being knocked out today aren\u2019t, largely, going to be classics. But the Mini is and always will be. And as I mentioned above, the massive following and aftermarket means the Mini will live on for decades to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mini,<\/a><\/p>\n

We, or certainly I, see the Mini as more than just a car. It\u2019s a mate, and you want your mates in your life. And you want to introduce your mates to the rest of your family, which is why parents can often be found buying old Minis for their children to tinker with. My daughter is thirteen this year, and I\u2019m thinking about getting her one. Whether she drives it or not doesn\u2019t matter, what matters is that she\u2019ll get to say she has one, and we can work on it together. I can\u2019t imagine doing that with any other car.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019re joyous<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Mini,<\/a><\/p>\n

Click on any news site and you don\u2019t have to read too much before realising that the world is a horrid place at the moment. As such, we need to counteract that with joy and with things that make us happy, and that\u2019s what the Mini does. It\u2019s a fun car that doesn\u2019t take itself too seriously. Like a giddy terrier it lives for no other reason than to put a smile on your face, and that\u2019s special. That\u2019s why, even sixty years on, we still have a profound, unwavering love for Britain\u2019s finest contribution to the motoring world. <\/span><\/p>\n
