The iconic term is used today to describe a whole plethora of cars, some of which no doubt have earned that status. But this MINI undoubtedly fully deserves the praise.
In 1959, a small team led by Sir Alec Issigonis launched the MINI. A small, economical car, with a front-wheel drive transverse engine, which helped maximize space to accommodate four people.
The 1275 GT model is easily recognizable for its squarer front facelift, courtesy of stylist Roy Haynes. This model was produced from 1969 to 1980 and was widely used in Portugal in competition, with excellent results both in rallies and on track.
