Thankfully, we also like it when a much-loved car becomes available in a less expensive formula. What you see here is the soon-to-be minted entry-level version of the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;A Brief Overview Of A Mini Clubman Cars Part 1&quot; href=&quot;http://cooper-mini-clubman-cars.blogspot.com/2010/05/history-of-classic-mini-cars-part-1.html&quot;&gt;MINI Clubman Cars&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. The stretched version of BMW’s &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;MINI&quot; href=&quot;http://cooper-mini-clubman-cars.blogspot.com/2010/06/mini-clubman-cars-in-australia.html&quot;&gt;MINI&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; has until now been offered only in &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cooper guises&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;: The standard &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cooper&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; with 120 horsepower, the sportier &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cooper S&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; with 175hp and the diesel &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cooper D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; with 110hp. The &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MINI One Clubman&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; makes do with lower levels of equipment and a less powerful 95hp 1.4-liter four, mated to the buyer’s choice of a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Despite the lower content, it also includes such green touches as regenerative braking and start-stop engine management, giving the One the second best fuel economy and emissions figures in the range, trailing only the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cooper D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Naturally, the decontented Clubman will come in as the cheapest version of the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MINI wagon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, retailing in the UK for £13,290 (approximately $19,250). That’s a comparable price to the smaller but more powerful &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MINI Cooper hatchback&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (£13,715), about a grand more than the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MINI One hatchback&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, but more than a grand less than the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cooper Clubman&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MINI&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

According to the NHTSA, under conditions of intense brake usage, braking performance on these models would be reduced. The company’s dealers will inspect the front brake discs and pads and, if necessary, replace them free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during October 2008. If you have any questions, we’d advise you to contact BMW/MINI directly at 1-866-275-6464.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related&lt;/strong&gt;

and &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John Cooper&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; have been intertwined for more than 40 years and now they are closer than ever. When &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;British race car&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and engine builder &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John Cooper&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; prepped the original &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MINIs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monte Carlo rally&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; back in the 1960s, he helped cement the iconic status of the little car. When the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MINI&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; was reborn as a product of &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BMW&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; earlier this decade, the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cooper MINI Clubman Cars&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; model was a standard element of the lineup. A semi-official tuned &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John Cooper &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;works edition&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; was also available for the hard-core addicts. Earlier this year, &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BMW&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; announced that the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John Cooper Works MINI&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; would become an official factory product analogous to M models from its parent company &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BMW&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaUEfTU57AlbMi1bALXlZgS_jO9PmJkKtfgT56UdkJrPKQmDTHy4UOnj1dEKeNDT6UT6snoAnUVX6O2sNcD3jlDIIcsAzgY8cGJH-pWTnWkfa7l6iB9AiTloS-bjblHN9f_hQk_30n7X6C/s1600/2010-MINI-John-Cooper-Works-Clubman-Wagon-Base-3dr-Station-Wagon-Exterior-1.png.jpg&quot;

behind the A-Pillar.  The Australian van thus became the only &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Clubman Van&lt;/span&gt; produced anywhere in the world.  From mid 1971 to the end of 1972, a &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Clubman GT&lt;/span&gt; version of the sedan was produced. This was essentially a &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Cooper S&lt;/span&gt; in &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Clubman&lt;/span&gt; body, equipped with the same 7.5-inch (190 mm) disc brakes, twin fuel tanks, and twin-carb &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Cooper S&lt;/span&gt; 1275 cc engine. Australian &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Clubman sedans&lt;/span&gt; were marketed under the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Morris Mini Clubman&lt;/span&gt; name when introduced in August 1971, and as the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Leyland Mini&lt;/span&gt;, without the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Clubman&lt;/span&gt; name, from February 1973.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cooper-mini-clubman-cars.blogspot.com/feeds/6285939472004390971/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cooper-mini-clubman-cars.blogspot.com/2010/06/mini-clubman-cars-in-australia.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7238211637023991812/posts/default/6285939472004390971'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7238211637023991812/posts/default/6285939472004390971'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cooper-mini-clubman-cars.blogspot.com/2010/06/mini-clubman-cars-in-australia.html' title='The Mini Clubman Cars in Australia'/><author><name>CarClassic</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15336900685875273726</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM7VhdYjBaMq_VnLWFNTemG1y668qNBkIQK30iRajJ-BriRz9kp58GFjSR_nBmMTczhQoea0G7wnF1-ynsrOR8IeUZ3fX73rEg6qPV7TTTHTot-vFMLOeylMkDtb-5wrDex_MChJxCDLqU/s72-c/mini_clubman_s_chateau_aznom06.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238211637023991812.post-3145688620110287872</id><published>2010-06-21T02:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-21T02:13:00.420-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Mini"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Mini Classic Cars"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Mini Clubman"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Mini Clubman1275GT"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="MINI Cooper Clubman Cars"/><title type='text'>Mini Clubman 1275GT Cars (1969–1980) The History Of It The End Part</title><content type='html'>&lt;h1 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mini   Clubman 1275GT Cars (1969–1980) The History Of It The End Part&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1cvyZAcHzOS_GLeofLjxEP5MTUNdpAemp7sNtvoWMtXcg_XX84KBpRzKtYb4qwdij5nRFY7Pas4yU_uaTa_rvoT6i7nit1pC-VLvGm44DyKRf6Knnnrgmy2KNGAP8ID87QE_CYVX9UApa/s1600/mini_clubman_of3.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 295px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1cvyZAcHzOS_GLeofLjxEP5MTUNdpAemp7sNtvoWMtXcg_XX84KBpRzKtYb4qwdij5nRFY7Pas4yU_uaTa_rvoT6i7nit1pC-VLvGm44DyKRf6Knnnrgmy2KNGAP8ID87QE_CYVX9UApa/s400/mini_clubman_of3.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;MINI Cooper Clubman Cars&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471052455966547586&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Picture Of &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;MINI Cooper Clubman Cars&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mini Clubman and 1275GT Cars&lt;/span&gt; were responsible for two motoring &quot;firsts&quot;: they were the first vehicles to use a flexi printed-circuit board behind the dash instruments (universal nowadays, but technically advanced for 1969). Secondly, the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;1275GT&lt;/span&gt; was the first vehicle to be offered with run-flat tyres; from 1974 this model could be ordered with optional Dunlop Denovo tyres on 12-inch (300 mm) diameter rims. In the event of a puncture, the Dunlop Denovo tyre would not burst and quickly deflate, but could continue to be used safely at speeds of up to 50 mph (80 km/h). This was a useful safety feature, although the increased road noise and relatively poor grip of this tyre meant that many &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;1275GT&lt;/span&gt; buyers ignored this option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt2A0mUU8IAy1EhIPkyTAsl2LYme3Il26P9DjYEwy8nV0ixNmMxwvoXK9hrV0yHYQhneq_VYD6BH7qOmc3T8BrJ2ubGRG98UITHxBfUpGj37KKLAXdGIfzXEvT1RpGV7YB5aT3sQRBDzmY/s1600/mini_clubman_of15.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 295px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt2A0mUU8IAy1EhIPkyTAsl2LYme3Il26P9DjYEwy8nV0ixNmMxwvoXK9hrV0yHYQhneq_VYD6BH7qOmc3T8BrJ2ubGRG98UITHxBfUpGj37KKLAXdGIfzXEvT1RpGV7YB5aT3sQRBDzmY/s400/mini_clubman_of15.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;MINI-Cooper Clubman Cars&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471052548893123282&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Picture Of &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;MINI Cooper Clubman Cars&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throughout the 1970s, &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;British Leyland&lt;/span&gt; continued to produce the classic 1959 &quot;round-front&quot; design, alongside the newer &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Clubman and 1275GT&lt;/span&gt; models. The long-nose &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Clubman and 1275GT&lt;/span&gt; offered better crash safety, were better equipped, and had vastly better under-bonnet access, but they were more expensive and aerodynamically inferior to the original 1959 design. The &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mini Clubman and 1275GT&lt;/span&gt; were replaced in 1980 by the new hatchback Austin Metro, while production of the original &quot;round-front&quot; mini design continued for another 20 years.

Innocenti in Italy, however, continued making their own version of the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mini Cooper&lt;/span&gt; for some time. While the UK built &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;1275GT&lt;/span&gt; was not nearly as quick as a 1275 &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mini Cooper S&lt;/span&gt;, it was cheaper to buy, run, and insure. It was the first Mini to be equipped with a tachometer. It also featured a standard-fit close-ratio gearbox. Performance of the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;1275GT&lt;/span&gt; was lively for the time, achieving 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in 12.9 seconds, and the excellent midrange torque offered a 30–50 mph (48–80 km/h) time in top gear of only nine seconds. The bluff front, however, meant that the model struggled to reach 90 mph (140 km/h). The 1275 cc A-series engine could be cheaply and easily tuned, though the cheap purchase price and prominent &quot;sidewinder&quot; door stripes meant that this model developed a reputation as something of a &quot;boy-racer special&quot; during the 1970s and into the 1980s.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cooper-mini-clubman-cars.blogspot.com/feeds/7761625787732631009/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cooper-mini-clubman-cars.blogspot.com/2010/06/mini-clubman-1275gt-cars-19691980_16.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7238211637023991812/posts/default/7761625787732631009'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7238211637023991812/posts/default/7761625787732631009'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cooper-mini-clubman-cars.blogspot.com/2010/06/mini-clubman-1275gt-cars-19691980_16.html' title='Mini Clubman 1275GT Cars (1969–1980) The History Of It Part 2'/><author><name>CarClassic</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15336900685875273726</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJlzCtKWvCOGuoyW6zcuFXfZ0VldA8-4OsRU61aagpR_cwju-bBplk-pfXhaZMBNEHEKAJcDtTqOuFhJ6lD8lKxjvxal3o-Op6hxoRUVBUsrHtMk9qlBI0fzQ7VtiYNttCNgmdhltNOHqj/s72-c/mini_clubman_of6.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238211637023991812.post-2300577819950331418</id><published>2010-06-11T01:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-11T01:53:00.287-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Mini"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Mini Classic Cars"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Mini Clubman"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Mini Clubman1275GT"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="MINI Cooper Clubman Cars"/><title type='text'>Mini Clubman 1275GT Cars (1969–1980) The History Of It Part 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;h1 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mini Clubman 1275GT Cars (1969–1980) The History Of It Part 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimD3_x7iburIRbiqQJYtfxttKWn8Cb_iSacnZk6Z7efLLyDj_pNF__VlYKs909H5VNcPAl2macaBXs6Jwq0H5s9Ms3k7dLko_yfsqba4UvGUFO4SI0ZbvQJro-Gz607oyax1ucxadVDLJZ/s1600/mini_clubman_09.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 245px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimD3_x7iburIRbiqQJYtfxttKWn8Cb_iSacnZk6Z7efLLyDj_pNF__VlYKs909H5VNcPAl2macaBXs6Jwq0H5s9Ms3k7dLko_yfsqba4UvGUFO4SI0ZbvQJro-Gz607oyax1ucxadVDLJZ/s400/mini_clubman_09.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;MINI Cooper Clubman Cars&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471047669483074450&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Picture Of &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;MINI Cooper Clubman Cars&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;In 1969, under the ownership of &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;British Leyland&lt;/span&gt;, the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mini&lt;/span&gt; was given a facelift by stylist Roy Haynes, who had previously worked for &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Ford&lt;/span&gt;.

The &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mini Mark I&lt;/span&gt; had three major UK updates: the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mark II&lt;/span&gt;, the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Clubman Cars&lt;/span&gt; and the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mark III&lt;/span&gt;. Within these was a series of variations including an estate car, a pickup truck, a van  and the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mini Moke&lt;/span&gt;—a jeep-like buggy. The &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mini Cooper &lt;/span&gt;and &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Cooper&lt;/span&gt; &quot;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;&quot; were sportier versions that were successful as rally cars, winning the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Monte Carlo Rally&lt;/span&gt; four times from 1964 through to 1967, although in 1966 the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mini&lt;/span&gt; was disqualified after the finish, along with six other British entrants, which included the first four cars to finish, under a questionable ruling that the cars had used an illegal combination of headlamps and spotlights. Initially &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Minis&lt;/span&gt; were marketed under the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Austin&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Morris &lt;/span&gt;names, as the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Austin Seven&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Morris Mini Minor&lt;/span&gt;, until &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mini&lt;/span&gt; became a marque in its own right in 1969.The &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mini&lt;/span&gt; was again marketed under the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Austin&lt;/span&gt; name in the 1980s.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cooper-mini-clubman-cars.blogspot.com/feeds/8391262102552791186/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cooper-mini-clubman-cars.blogspot.com/2010/06/brief-overview-of-history-of-mini_06.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7238211637023991812/posts/default/8391262102552791186'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7238211637023991812/posts/default/8391262102552791186'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cooper-mini-clubman-cars.blogspot.com/2010/06/brief-overview-of-history-of-mini_06.html' title='A Brief Overview Of The History Of A Mini Classic Cars before is Mini Clubman End Part'/><author><name>CarClassic</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15336900685875273726</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2iATRlKc8X8K-JUHzfYJZoTeyuma-sQWKde04KtXFXS8T8ofFTMNB34NDw9zk0a7Clz_mDvN9tyFzrmoQTT7xIq5XOp5UYMssNJEiXyC0YN2FWbMWtOw4FD0cXWkcEllul9MwkXsteJiz/s72-c/mini_clubman_10.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238211637023991812.post-5323702802494434509</id><published>2010-06-01T01:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-01T01:33:00.647-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="British Motor Corporation (BMC)"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Mini"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Mini Classic Cars"/><title type='text'>A Brief Overview Of The History Of A Mini Classic Cars before is Mini Clubman Part 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;h1 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;A Brief Overview Of The History Of A Mini Classic Cars before is Mini Clubman Part 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLIazYMZJ2EBnGE5eo8I35aBIXlFg9Qud3lvDyJtui5uhczoLMmrlI5KhmrV_-amytjWveE-srWLzKQ17j8CrFqXI9Mfp2AhevfIohBj-sfp4rTQ0ft1GcoqUr4no_qT66Vc8C5pAQ9e89/s1600/mini_clubman_07.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 261px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLIazYMZJ2EBnGE5eo8I35aBIXlFg9Qud3lvDyJtui5uhczoLMmrlI5KhmrV_-amytjWveE-srWLzKQ17j8CrFqXI9Mfp2AhevfIohBj-sfp4rTQ0ft1GcoqUr4no_qT66Vc8C5pAQ9e89/s400/mini_clubman_07.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;MINI Cooper Clubman Cars&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471041998724618434&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Picture Of &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;MINI Cooper Clubman Cars&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mini&lt;/span&gt; is a small car  that was made by the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;British Motor Corporation&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;BMC&lt;/span&gt;) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered an icon of the 1960s and its space-saving front-wheel-drive layout (that allowed 80% of the area of the car&#39;s floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage) influenced a generation of car-makers.  The vehicle is in some ways considered the British equivalent to its &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;German contemporary&lt;/span&gt;, the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Volkswagen Beetle&lt;/span&gt;, which enjoyed similar popularity in North America.
