People with your view helped turn Britain into the industrial desert it is today. BMC were the forth largest carmaker in the world when the original mini came out. All cars rusted back then and reliability was a comparative term. The average life of an engine was around 60000 miles before a rebore was needed. On a Ford sidevalve it was half that.

@armadillo platypus It is true that the Mini had a severe rust problem and eternally leaking break cylinders, among other serious problems. Nevertheless, it was a very good handling car, very nice looking and extremely spacious for its outer dimensions. With 3m outer length, you could fit a pair of 2.1m long cross-country skis in its cabin. I went on several long-distance holiday trips with it and could take a lot of stuff for two people with me.

But they were the best cars to drive ever and at 3.05 m length they could transport 4 adults. And they look so cute!!! Once you drive them, you get addicted to them! Don't forget that their active safety is very good. Their passive safety could be improved, although for their size, they're on.k.!

We love! Well as an owner of a new, black Mini from 1966 - 1970, I may state as a fact: It was an absolutely horribly produced car, with badly fitting doors (I had to bend the sliding window frames against my knee to make them actually meet the rubber sealing on the body!) and it leaked in water in most places, also from the corners of my front screen (Wipers just stopped, also up on the screen, so you soon learned how to make them stop at the right place!). And don't expect to be able to leave things in the doors metal pockets if they aren't waterproof! A battery with its + to the frame!!! And the outside hinges, which had a little acid left in the sealings against the doors, after the original cleaning before being painted, so they constantly needed repainting around them to stay nice and without any rust! I had "newspapers" below the mats, to collect water and being regularly shifted, as now wet. Driving in rain behind a lorry would make the motor cut from the spray moisture, before being able to overtake, at mostly 117 km/h! I did own three English built cars: "My first, my last and my only", before buying a new BMW 2002 in 1970 and later VWs. Today I drive a really (comparably) fast Peugeot (Diesel).

( extra interior light apertures, plus modified bulkhead and inner front wings etc ) it'd be so much easier to do it off the shell then have them spot it all together after. ( for extra £££ of course )

How do people think that if Mr Brewer is to run companies on a daily basis, like his dealerships, he is going to do that without people/personal skills? I believe it is impossible to do that without any empathy and at the same time business sense. In the very beginning of WD I was always impressed by the mechanic Ed and less with the salesman/part source Mike. But in the episodes, Mike grew on me and my vision became less "troubled". I think that they both have their qualities and had an equal contribution to the series. What Mike does here, shows he is a real British motor aficionado.

I started as a spot welder on patch plates where the bar across the front top of the windshield met the "A" pillar to tie it together before the roof was installed - the patch plate was where the sun visor screwed into. I didn't build any Minis but I did build almost 500 cars a shift from Valiant 2 door sedans to Chrysler convertibles and every model in between except Imperial (they came from U.S.). We built some RHD vehicles for export as well.

None of these would alter the minis character, but all would improve form and function overall at very little cost.

Wow thats excellent. Mind blowing to see it all coming together!

This is absolutely fascinating. My first car was a Mini and 4 follow ups. Time, to get my last Mini.

THIS TIME USE JAPANESE BEARING LIKE IN TRIUMPHS AND JAPANESE ELECTRICS. Brilliant idea, should have done the same for the Minor 1000.
