Vintage: Out for a ride in a 1965 Austin Mini | drive it!

The mini is a flagship model of the British car industry.The original minis rolled off the production line in 1959 in Birmingham. Only six years later she the millionth mini was handed over personally by designer Alec Issigonis. The success of the mini was down to its ingenious technological design. The transverse mounting of the engine meant more room for the passengers. Drive it! takes a close look at the modern Mini.
