I'm not sure exactly how many millions they built. But when they got to the end, all the crappy bits they had left over they stuck on mine :D

Don't say that minis live in a world of their own sometimes, their a law unto themselves :)

don't forget, not many people could afford a car, mini or otherwise back in the 50s 60s and even early 70s

I remember reading on here a year or so ago that the amount left registered in the UK is around 30,000... more than half of which were sorned. Only a very rough figure that may not be true, just what I think I remember :D

Mini production dropped significantly from 1980 after the Metro was introduced.
