What Can I Expect
Drive a Mini Cooper! And no we're not talking about one of those new-fangled BMW-built Minis, we're talking an iconic, original Mini Cooper S. This is the miniature driving experience that is sure to put a big smile on your face.
The Mini revolutionised modern car design when it was unleashed into the world in 1959. Designed by an inspired Alec Issigonis, his remit was to come up with a small town roundabout that was economical on fuel and space efficient too. Initially produced as the Morris Mini Minor and the Austin Seven, the car was soon known as the Austin Mini and then simply the Mini. But how did the classic sporty Cooper version that you'll be driving come about?
Well, Issigonis wasn't convinced about a sports version of the Mini at first. His good friend and motorsport company owner John Cooper eventually managed to persuade him and they worked together to create the Mini Cooper and subsequently the even more powerful 'S' variants.
The Mk 1 Cooper first screeched onto the scene in 1961 and was an instant success. It proved to be a formidable competitor on the race track, even winning the Monte Carlo Rally three times, so no wonder Charlie Croker and his gang chose them as their Italian Job getaway cars.
You will love driving this original Mini Cooper. It's old school cool with bags of that retro charm everyone who is lucky enough to drive one adores. They handle surprisingly well on the fast tarmac, as you'll find out for yourself because you have three or six miles to relish in this lovely car.
So if you're looking for a unique gift for that discerning someone who knows their cars, booking a drive in a Mini Cooper is sure to be a winner. These gutsy little cars are utterly compelling to drive, giving the new sports cars with all their fancy gadgetry a run for their money.
And whilst you're on your Mini Cooper drive, take a moment to reflect on the fact that this wonderful British invention has inspired almost every front wheel drive small car ever since!
