The Mini Morris is a British passenger car that was first introduced to the public in 1959. Its serial production began in the same year and lasted until 2000 in its original version. In 2001, a completely new car, referred to as the Mini Morris, called the BMW Mini, was launched on the market. Initially, the Mini Morris was manufactured in the towns of Cowley and Longbridge in the United Kingdom, but has since been produced in many other cities around the world.
The Mini Morris was developed and put into production to expand the commercial offer of the British Motor Corporation and win the interest of European markets - especially Britain - with small cars with low operating costs. From the very beginning, emphasis was placed on low production costs and the same operating costs. At the same time, the serial Mini Morris was characterized by simple construction, high reliability and a low failure rate. The car also provided decent travel comfort for this class of car. The most commonly used drive was an engine with a capacity of 0.85 to 1.3 liters. There were also several body versions, including: 2-door sedan, combi, van and pick-up. The car quickly acquired the status of a cult car in Great Britain, comparable to the Citroen 2CV in France or the VW Beetle in Germany. It even became a symbol of the 1960s in the collective consciousness of the British! Taking advantage of this nostalgia and the great popularity of the car, the German company BMW in 2001 introduced the Mini brand to the market, which stylistically refers to its predecessor, but with power units, equipment and technologies used, it is completely different from it.
