Restoring History (_DSC3998)


Restoring History (_DSC3998), originally uploaded by Shutterhack.

After an amazing 41 years and over 5.3 million cars, the Rover Mini finally ended production on the 4th of October 2000. The story does not end here however - A new "MINI" arrived to much fanfare and a new generation of fans - and the "Classic" Mini retains a HUGE following from its fans around the world. Long live the Mini! Mini World and Mini Resources are two links I can suggest to you guys to start your reading.

P/S: Why all the fuss about Mini, well I practically grew up in one. And please look as what it might have looked like before the restoration, a parody by a good friend CS Wong
