Everyone I`ve seen on the tube who has either driven a Mini for the first time or after a long break does so with a huge smile on their face and really enjoying themselves.

I'm so happy that it's been kept original, the mini looks amazing.

Yeah my dad had a yellow one in 1964, he washed it once a year at best ,wether it needed it or not and it disintegrated , within a few years . When it was launched it was £500 pounds new , Ford actually bought 2 and stripped them apart and rebuilt them and reckoned it cost 550 to make , at the time Ford didn’t have a small car apart from the Anglia , but basically let Austin rover get on with it as they’d worked out it cost £550 to make !! 🚗🚗👎👍👍

We have one for over 20 years. Most reliable and fun car of all the cars we've owned.

Oh wow! I have always wondered what long term reliability would be like on a classic Mini. Guessing it's used as a weekend toy as opposed to an everyday car? Thank you for watching! - Drew

@@accelerateyoutube no its actually my daily driver. But my commute is quite short and on Mini friendly roads. Every morning I do my 3 corners flat out routine 😄. We have upgraded and fully adjustable suspension and a tuned (but still reliable) engine. It's so much fun, Every day!

Everyone should learn to drive in one of these I miss my mini rally car

Classic mini needs a classic steering wheel too!

They really are great cars man! I really want to drive a Honda swapped one (K20, B16, D15 I'm not fussy lol) - Drew

My first two cars were these, an estate and a saloon, and having to part with them were two of the saddest days of my life, and I've regretted it ever since.

I drove a classic Mini Mayfair briefly around a Morrisons car park on a Sunday, it was hilarious and I never stopped smiling. That looks a nice one, with prices as they are for classic Minis I could never afford one.

I love the old classic mini👍 Another awesome video thanks Drew 😁👍 Ohhh like the bimmer 😅😂

@accelerateyoutube I have never driven one mate would love too been in two of them that my mates have had in the past👍The one had a 1.5metro turbo engine in it now that was quick🤣😈

Awesome video I've been driving Classic Minis since 1996...Yes I'm old 😂 I have a 1995 Mini Cooper that was my daily from 2000 until recently but that's been put away until Summer now...I get my Winter fun and smiles in a 2017 Abarth 595 Competizione that's had a few tasty mods... The Mini and Abarth are the only cars I've ever driven that make me smile and put the fun in driving 😁

Great Car, Great Video, Awesome POV camera

Thank you dude! 🙏 It was good fun filming & editing in a different style 👌 - Drew

What a nice video! Your reactions are exactly how I feel when I drive mine! 😄 Had one 20 years ago as a daily. It rusted away under my bottom and I regretted getting rid off it for 20 odd years. So happy have one back! Would you believe it gives me the same feeling and ‚drivinghappiness’ as the 360 I’m also lucky to own. They are supprisingly similair in that regard…apart from speed and power…obviously… Goes to show you really do not need a supercar to have fun!! Looking forward to your next video

Well done. Love the POV. 👍🏻

Bought one new in 1988, still got it on the road today as a weekend fun car. Have more fun it it than any other car. Also have a 2002 bmw mini also bought new, great but not as much fun as the original!!

Out of all my cars, the mini is the one that makes me smile the most. They are so much fun

I had one of these... also an N reg Sprite. Loved that car, until it got stolen. I've had 4 adults in mine. But, those later style seats eat up a lot of space. The original design had much thinner seats and afforded a lot more cabin space but no comfort. As for the gear lever... they were always sloppy in the later cars. The Cooper of the day had 63ish hp compared to the Sprite's 53ish hp.

Belle vidéo 👌 😉. Super cette Mini 👍

I have a 1991 classic mini. It just puts a massive grin on my face every time I drive it. I gets smiles and waves everywhere I go. No driver aids, you feel everything and you could park it next to a Ferrari and it wouldnt look out of place. Bloody thing always needs something doing but he is 32 years old 😄 Thanks for the video 👍👍

me and the ex wife went from essex to hull and back in a day in one of these in 1987 . just to pick up an exhaust for my 1980 suzuki gsx 750e

thinking about getting one as a first car, as its far more interesting than your fiestas and corsas.

Hi. Did the car sell?

If you think this is fun, you should try and automatic Mini you would be amazed it really is like driving a goat kart

Not once gone over the speed limit. He says blurring out the speedo.

Not for me I've got a classic mini from 1996 and it's automatic.

Great wee car apart from the rust but voted second more influential car by who? the mini owners club? more influential than a beetle? nonsense. BTW the original fiat 500 was also far more influential and groundbreaking for what you got in an ever small package long before the mini appeared.

I did research before filming (as I didn't know a great deal about the original Mini) the statements I made in the video were from various videos/websites found during my search. I am happy to be corrected as I'm aware there are some hardcore Mini fans out there. I wasn't sure I agreed with the "more influential than the beetle" quote, I wish I'd kept the sources of the information I found. Thank you for watching! - Drew

Second most influential car according to the Global Automotive Elections Foundation in 1999. Beetle was 4th. I guess everyone has their own opinion.

Sorry, not quite a classic mini! Mine had the central instrument cluster and the sliding windows! But honestly I'd far rather have your disc brakes!
