In 1959 British Motor Corporation (BMC) released a pint-sized rocket that took on the world, the Mini. It not only put a smile on most owners faces but changed the way the wider car making community looked at design and layout of small cars. With the use of an east west engine configuration the Mini achieved what no one had done before with such a small platform; room and a surprising amount of it. With a space saving engine layout and front wheel drive platform the Mini capitalised on the available floorpan layout utilising every inch available for cabin space.
