its not too complicated lol,

austin and morris were the first to make the mini, then morris stopped and austin carried on, then when austin stopped, rover started making it then BMW made the MINI, i.e bini or bmw mini or new mini which is what you have!

the moke is just a different variation made in the 60s and then reproduced in the late 80s, using mini running gear, there are loads of kit cars like this, such as the scamp!

After Morris it was BL then Austin.


But yes, real Mini's are the ones that BMW didn't get their greasy mitts on!! Anything that looks like your missus Bini isn't a real Mini. Sorry.
