🇬🇧 The 1959 Morris Mini Minor, commonly known as the Mini, revolutionized the automotive industry. Introduced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and designed by Sir Alec Issigonis, it became a symbol of 1960s British culture.

🏭 Morris Motors, formed in 1919, represented 42% of British car production by 1926. In 1952, it merged with Austin to form BMC, incorporating Morris, MG, Riley, and Wolseley. The Morris name remained until 1984 when British Leyland focused on Austin and Rover.

🚘 Debuting on August 26, 1959, the Mini was designed for affordability and efficiency during economic austerity. Issigonis maximized interior space within a compact design. The goal was to create a car that was affordable, economical, and practical for everyday use. Issigonis's design achieved this by maximizing interior space within a compact exterior.

🚗 The Mini featured a transverse engine and front-wheel drive, maximizing space and handling. Its rubber cone suspension by Alex Moulton provided a smooth ride, and small corner-placed wheels enhanced handling. The small wheels were placed at the corners of the car, further enhancing interior space and giving the Mini its characteristic go-kart handling.

🌟 The Mini became a cultural phenomenon, popular across social classes and successful in motorsports, including multiple Monte Carlo Rally wins in the 1960s. Celebrities and ordinary people alike were drawn to its charm. The Mini saw updates until 2000, and in 2001, BMW relaunched the brand, modernizing it while retaining iconic elements.

🎥 The Mini gained further fame as Mr. Bean's beloved car. This lime green Mini, driven by Rowan Atkinson's character, became an iconic element of the show, adding to the Mini's already extensive cultural legacy.

🏁 The 1959 Morris Mini Minor is celebrated for its groundbreaking design, influencing future vehicles and remaining a timeless classic. The Mini's innovative use of space, combined with its distinctive style and fun driving experience, ensures its place as a timeless classic in automotive history.

This is Monte Carlo, and these three gentlemen are here for the most high stakes game in the world of rallying. To win at this table requires talent, courage, and a sixth sense in reading the opponent. Kalle Rovanperä. Now, he may look young, but don’t let that fool you. He’s the best in the world. This relaxed-looking fellow, well, that’s Ott Tänak. The Estonian is not afraid to make tough decisions, and he’s trusted a familiar outfit to have his back in his push for the title. Thierry Neuville. He’s got all the talents to win at the top table: speed of thought and action, a calm temperament, even when the game doesn’t always go his way. So, our first spin of the wheel is here, in Monte Carlo. They’ve placed their bets, but who will take the first spoils?
