A ferocious little giant-killer, the famous British Mini was originally never intended to have any sporting pretensions. While the Mini’s Godfather Sir Alec Issigonis didn’t really like the idea of a tuned Mini, his rather more sporting friend John Cooper did.

And if you need any further convincing, just have a look at period races from the Sixties and Seventies, where the Mini dances around Ford Fairlanes and other American muscle machines. You can also see how maneuverable the Mini is when watching the Mr. Bean series, or firing up the original version of The Italian Job. If all this talk has got your pulse racing for a Mini, we’ve got this 1969 Austin Mini Cooper MKII for sale from Grapeview, Washington.
