Mini Cooper
In 1991, after a twenty-year absence, the Cooper returned to the Mini lineup. Powered by the iconic 1275 cc A-Series engine producing 61 hp, the car proved to be especially fun to drive.
Mini Cooper S R52
In 2001, BMW revived Mini with an entirely new model. The Cooper S, producing 163 hp, was the most powerful version in the range. It became even more desirable in its convertible form.
Mini Countryman
In 1960, the Mini was transformed into an estate car under the name Countryman. Most examples featured wooden side trim, which greatly contributed to their charm.
Mini John Cooper Works GP (F56)
For the 2020 model year, Mini launched the JCW GP, a limited series of 3,000 units distinguished by its 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 306 hp. The car features a unique body kit and retuned suspension.

Mini, the First Modern City Car
In 1959, the debut of the first Mini sparked a true technical revolution that would go on to inspire many other car manufacturers. Designed by the talented engineer Alec Issigonis, the car stood out for adopting front-wheel drive—still a rarity at the time—paired with a transverse engine layout. The result: in the Mini, the mechanical components occupy only 20% of the available space, to the great benefit of passengers and their luggage.
Thus, despite its minimal footprint (hence the name), with a total length of just 3.05 meters, the Mini offered surprisingly spacious accommodation for a car of its size. Its drivetrain and compact dimensions also delivered a driving experience previously unknown in a popular car; the Mini handled much like a go-kart. It cornered flat and its road manners won over many drivers—racing versions of the Cooper S even claimed victory at the Monte Carlo Rally three times, in 1964, 1965, and 1967!
But above all, the Mini was a city car, whose nimbleness made it perfect for navigating the already congested streets of European cities. After a hesitant commercial start, the model began winning over a wide customer base from the early 1960s onward, both in the UK and internationally.
The Birth of a Cult Car
Launched by the BMC (British Motor Corporation) group—formed in 1952 from the merger of Austin and Morris—the Mini was marketed under both brands. It also gave rise to short-lived luxury derivatives with a distinct trunk, the Riley Elf and Wolseley Hornet. The range expanded to include a van version, the Mini Van, as well as estate cars based on the same platform: the Austin Countryman—a name that would be revived for 21st-century Minis—and the Morris Traveller.
From 1965 to 1975, the Mini was also manufactured under license in Italy by the firm Innocenti. However, in the UK, the 1970s were harsh for the British car industry. British Leyland, the conglomerate formed in 1968 that encompassed nearly all British car brands including Mini, was plagued by poor strategic decisions and frequent strikes. Amidst economic turmoil, the Mini’s low cost and fuel efficiency allowed it to stand out, to the point that the manufacturer never truly succeeded in replacing it. The Metro, launched in 1980, failed to win over Mini loyalists.
By the end of the 20th century, the Mini—now a thirty-something icon—had lost none of its charm despite its well-known discomfort and outdated performance. But all good things must come to an end: in October 2000, the final classic Mini rolled off the production line at the Longbridge factory.

BMW Revives the Mini
Five years earlier, the BMW Group had taken control of Rover, then the owner of the Mini brand. The Bavarian firm set out to design an entirely new Mini—one that would honor the identity and philosophy of the original, while adapting its features to meet the expectations of a modern, sophisticated clientele looking to combine style and driving pleasure in a car that was just as capable in city traffic as on the open road.
With a design that pays tribute to the classic Mini while remaining firmly contemporary, the new Mini was an instant commercial success. It quickly established itself as the benchmark city car in the premium segment. The model boasts a wide range of engines—including the high-performance John Cooper Works variants—and nearly endless customization options, making every Mini unique.
Over the four generations launched since 2001, the lineup has steadily expanded. The Mini Hatch has been joined over the years by the Clubman estate, the Countryman SUV, and a convertible version. Now produced both in the UK and in China, the Mini continues to thrive—and since 2024, it’s also available in a fully electric version!

Min John Cooper Works Cabriolet
Everything went according to plan. CarJager didn't waste my time with multiple visits. The first one was the right one, and everyone was happy. I recommend CarJager and, in fact, I have a second car stored with them.

F.A.Q. Frequently asked questions before buying a Mini
Which Minis should you prioritise collecting?
When it comes to classic Minis (i.e. those manufactured before 2000), the most desirable models are the Cooper and Cooper S, as well as the Countryman and Traveller estate cars. Looking at contemporary Minis, the Cooper S "John Cooper Works" models from the R56 and F56 generations are already collector's items, as is the Mini GP unveiled in 2020 with its 306 hp engine.
How can Mini's success be explained?
After a difficult start on the British market, the Mini managed, from the early 1960s onwards, to win over a wide audience, captivated by its compact size, manoeuvrability, driving pleasure and, above all, its extraordinary space-to-size ratio. Since 2001, contemporary Minis have continued the legacy of their predecessors, combining iconic design with a driving experience that is unrivalled on the market.
How many first-generation Minis were produced?
Between 1959 and 2000, just under 5.4 million first-generation Minis were built and sold under the Austin, Morris, Innocenti, Riley, Wolseley, Mini and Rover brands.
When did the first Mini appear?
Designed by engineer Alec Issigonis for the BMC (British Motor Corporation) group, created in 1952 after the merger of Austin and Morris, the very first Mini was presented in the spring of 1959 in the catalogues of both brands, under the names Morris Mini Minor and Austin Seven. The name Mini was first used as a brand in 1969.
Who owns Mini?
Previously owned by the Rover Group, which was acquired by BMW in 1994, Mini has since become a brand in its own right and benefits from the engineering expertise of the Bavarian firm, which still has exclusive control over it.
What should you check before buying a Mini?
In this case, there are of course two scenarios: either you are interested in classic Minis (produced from 1959 to 2000), or you have your heart set on a contemporary Mini (built from 2001 onwards). Several of the points to check are specific to each type.
- Vehicle history: check that the service log has been duly completed and that all work has been carried out by competent workshops specialising in British cars for classic Minis or by the manufacturer's network for contemporary Minis. Ideally, you should have a documented history dating back to when the car left the factory, regardless of its age.
- General condition and specific inspections: a thorough inspection by a specialist may be necessary for classic Minis. However, given the age of these cars, the first point of concern is possible corrosion of the bodywork and certain structural elements, a problem that does not exist on Minis "made by BMW".
- Maintenance and repair costs: routine maintenance is not expensive for classic Minis, which have simple mechanics and for which all spare parts are available. Even in the case of a complete mechanical overhaul, the costs will remain reasonable. The situation is different for current Minis, which are much more technically complex and whose electronic components can cause problems.
- Reliability and risk factors: while the engines of classic Minis are robust, the same cannot be said for the electrical system, which is often temperamental in British cars of this era. When it comes to contemporary Minis, be wary of the reliability of the early Cooper S R53 models.
By taking all these precautions, you will protect yourself against any disappointments that may arise from a hasty purchase decision.

How much does a Mini cost?
Among the classic Minis produced until 2000, prices range from €3,000 for a Clubman, recognisable by its extended front end with a specific design, to €34,000 for the first Cooper S models introduced in 1964. Among the modern Minis, the rare John Cooper Works GP versions of the F56 generation can exceed £50,000.
Which Mini is the most powerful?
The most powerful Mini ever built is the limited edition John Cooper Works GP, unveiled in 2020 and produced in a run of 3,000 units. It featured a 2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine developing 306 horsepower and could reach a top speed of 265 km/h.
