Notification of a recent comment reminded me of this old video I posted on You Tube back in 2010....the clip below was recorded from the old Granada 'Men & Motors' TV channel. Regular 'Men & Motors' TV presenters at the time were Ginny Buckley and Richard Hammond.
Mini MPI Launch 1997.
"Launch preview at BMH Gaydon, of the upgraded Mini MPI (Multi Point Injection) range for 1997 with drivers airbag, seatbelt pre-tensioners, door side impact bars and front mounted radiator. Despite Rover's original plan to end Mini production in 1997 due to new European safety and emmisions legislation, BMW's new investment in the Mini and John Cooper's insistence on this last update finally got the MPI into production in 1996, extending the Mini's life by 4 more years until the launch of the New MINI in 2001."
