Video

i love rally

Great documentary series, I remember it from the first time around and still have my copy of the accompanying book plus all five episodes. They really should release them on dvd. I think it would also be cool if they did a follow-up documentary to see what became of those who took part in the series some 17 years down the line ....

The person who banned this advert must have had a small penis, this is the funniest advert ever.

I want one <3

@nipperoid 621 AOK was the first off the production line. It's on display at the Heritage Museum in Gaydon. Of course there were prototypes before that but not official production line vehicles.

I have the fiat lol my first car, gunna get a red door on it, this says it used to cost £6000 I got mine for £650 lol XD

They were great as a town car, not the type of thing for long motorway jaunts though. but having said that all mine were old '70s 1000cc models

4:33 Epic hair

£12995 in '97? Bloody hell that's steep.

they made the mini for 40 years, i think it was very profitable! and it outlasted its competition by decades, so what does that tell you.

theres only one mini

when top gear was a good show, now its just 3 twats driving cars no one drives

@ludek92 i believe there still is. Despite the MINI brand is owned by BMW today, it is still made in Britain.

top speed, 45!

Cheers for uploading this, great vid.

Meanwhile in the USA we were making cars that had more metal in the dashboard than in the body of a Mini!

oh yeah i bout a sierra cosworth when i checked the log book it was a ghia with a cosworth badge oh sdear i wish i had seen this b4 ergg

the imbetweeners car

Haha Spike Milligan, a British classic, in a British classic. AWESOME!

top gear is more like monty python or jackass get rid of clarkson the big dick and the hamster mays alright

@surfblue63 already has been forgotten

1990 Mini Cooper? They were still being produced in 1990? Now that's one good way to tell a truly classic car, when they're still being made 50 years later! Think Jeep CJ, Land Rover Defenders, VW Type 1 and Type 2, Mini, etc. They should still be making Escort Mk I and Mk II's, damn it!

I am trying to give a classic mini response as a video but it dose not work. type in ... mini recall for BMW

Really chassis number 140 re-numbered to 98 when it was sold in 1962. Reshelled into a leter shell, where abouts now not known. Not a prototype at all just the 40th normal production mini built.

Anyone know what the music is that they used in the background?

Just lovely!!! I adore these cars!

haaa that rubbish the american cars couldnt go round corners properly and they where powerful big engines ye but in a quarter mile drag stip the mini would of run circles on it cos its so light that the cooper s one and i have evidance from my uncle oo is american and he had minis yes the minis started to get beet with the ford escort cosworths etc.. and they where british soo shut it iwasbored76 you bore me with ur pathetic talk

wow hes bout the same size. short ass lol 0:18

@concorde1350mph 621 aok = first production mini the first mini to be made was the prototype had a similar front end but the grill was half the size :)

Great upload. Wish I could get the names of all the music that was played though out it.

Great vid. The race reminds me of Konami's GTI Club.

621 AOK first morris mini minor to be made!

along with tropic thunder and goldeneye this was my favourite movie ever. (i still cant decide which is best)

i feel sry for europe while they where getting excited over "sporty racing minis" we in the U.S. Had Trans ams, Z28s, chargers, and challengers, javelines, and gtos, grand prix , and lemans, Mustangs, and thunder birds. Sadly the tables have turned now euro cars are more exciting and american cars are inspired by boring asian cars.

if it was unprofitable then it would not have survived, especially for 40 years. the mini kept the company going in its darkest hour.

That Mini Beki Adams is driving in the start needs alloys, chrome handles and bumper and then it'd be better i think

Top Gear looks so much more useful back then.

someone must have been doing her lol

Whats the tune that starts at 7.00?

@taffy1967 Farewell old Friend

1:54/ 9:52 thats my Mini, middle green one with the white stripes next to a mates Convertible...

Great video as always, Taffy!!

so strange to think that in 2019 we will be celbrating their 60th cant wait lol

hahah this is brilliant...good old days.

Thanks for the upload!

Excellent video. I liked the atmosphere in the car, it was so relaxed.

Excellent stuff!

@surfblue63 They have a new Cinquicento version in Europe already and coming to US later this year. But let's face it, it's not even close, the mini is a beautiful collectable with classic looks, design, and racing history , and the Fiat a really ugly little yellow rectangle. Long live the mini!
