The classic Mini was the go-to mode of affordable personal transportation for British drivers for several decades before the brand was bought by the BMW Group in 2000. It came to life during a fuel crisis and it was simple, cheap to buy, and cheap to run, thanks in no small part to the clever design penned by Alec Issigonis.
With this being said, there are now specialist companies out there that are doing their best to transform the classic British two-door into something much more refined, luxurious, and well put together, for quite a lot of money – much more than the original car ever dreamed of getting.
