Mini-Cooper MKI

The mighty Mini. While I owned a MKI in my youth, I never really appreciated this marvelous package of engineering until I began the illustration. From the hydrolastic suspension to the transverse mounted motor and gearbox, the Austin Mini-Cooper was quite a revolutionary little car and what would turn out to be, one of the British motorcar industry’s best selling and most iconic vehicles. Not to mention, fun to drive. Like many fine British cars of the era, the Mini’s end came in the early 70s, in large part, because it could not be made to meet the new Federal safety standards. Just as well, I think as British Leyland’s primary solution were the large rubber bumpers found on the MGs and Triumphs of the day.
