1963 Morris Mini 850

Celebrating 60 years this year, today the Mini remains one of the most iconic classics ever built. It’s small and compact design, thanks to Alex Issigonis, was perfect for residing in the main cities of Europe.

The Morris Mini Mark 1 was launched in August 1959 by the British Motor Corporation and was produced between 1959 and 1967 in the United Kingdom with Australian production continuing until 1970. Not only is the Mini just a car, it’s a piece of 20th Century industrial design haloed around the world and it was truly the first successful small car.
