More than ten million Minis have been built and sold worldwide since 1959 — and almost as many of the new ones have been built in the 20 years under BMW (5.13 million) as in the previous 40 years of the original (5.38 million).
Yet the timing of the original Mini's launch could not have been better, arriving as a classless and affordable small car loved by celebrities, royalty and ordinary folk alike, who took it to their hearts just in time for the Swinging Sixties.

The bright liveries of those rally cars and all the excitement of the 2001 World Rally Championship (WRC) are on display in a series of briefretrospectives featured over on WRC partner (and prominent American rally school) Dirtfish every month this year. It’s such a good look back!
