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 Brand History
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!

Our customer reviews on sold Mini
Mini Cooper S R52
After presenting my car, its history, and the passion I had for it, we agreed on the sales method. It would be the new auction service! Carjager offered me several service options and helped me finalize the sales listing. Carjager guided me through the sale of my vehicle in a short timeframe and at the price I was expecting. I am parting with my vehicle by entrusting it to a future owner (more than just a sale). The buyer is an enthusiast, just as I was. That's a plus! I will gladly turn to Carjager for my future projects.

Austin-Healey 3000 Mark III
Selling a classic car is not easy; buyers are always cautious, which is understandable. The fear of being deceived is real, given the significant amounts sometimes at stake. CarJager supports and advises you throughout the entire sales process. All administrative procedures are fully handled, and the payment is secured. A responsive and available team. It is true that all these services come at a significant cost. But it is probably the price of peace of mind and trust between buyers and sellers.

Everything went as planned, 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 on consignment with them.
