There really is no comparison old Mini to new MINI and as for some of the new variants they ought to call them MAXI. In saying that the first generation new MINI designed by Frank Stephenson is a lovely design in its own right. Enjoyed seeing TGE having fun in these great little cars. Thank you.

    I use to have a Leyland Mini clubman S 1977 998c engine Australian made model. I rolled it when I fell asleep at the wheel it saved my life at 19 as strong as a brick on wheels. The gears lift up the gear stick in the hand push up to the right to the front. Most reliable little car I had and parts where cheap in 1983 84 85 not that it needed much at all on servicing. I suggest bear get the Automatic Mayfair as he's hopeless at manual in the mini , the gear changes are notchy and need fo be quick. Australian model didn't have synchro on 1st gear only crash on first gear so you basically only could go into first gear at stopping.. Great to watch love the UK Austin Rover Mini's.
