Grey, but by no means subdued, that is how the Austin 7 whooshed all over the British Isles. The Mini has become a core part of British automotive history. When it entered series production in 1959, the petite British Austin 7 was supposed to be conceived as a throwback to the splendid brand tradition of the 1930s. To this end, the agile sub-compact Austin 7 – sometimes even promoted in ads as “Se7en” – was marketed under the name Morris Mini-Minor. In 1969, the car we deem a classic today gained even greater popularity with the founding of the “Mini” brand. While it cannot compare in size with most Jaguar classics, the small and quick-moving vehicle certainly measures up to the Jaguar’s significance in British automotive history
