1989 Austin Mini

Minis are small, man. Especially compared to yesterday’s Electra. The Electra isn’t quite twice as long (226 inches to 122 inches), but it’s pretty close. The Mini would fully fit inside the Electra’s 127-inch wheelbase, yet the Electra offered only 40% more passenger volume. Hmm. Something about space efficiency and all that.

1984-89 Mini

Britain’s answer to the Volkswagen Beetle, the Mini was the most popular British car ever, with upwards of 5.3 million sold between 1959 and 2000. I’m only guessing at the year of this one, though I think it’s a Mk V (1984-1989), and since this car wears a British Leyland badge (defunct in 1986), I pegged it at an ’85. They really didn’t change much, honestly.
