Happy Birthday Mini, 65 years old. Still driving my mini everyday as it is my only mode of transport. Long live the mini and my mini. I went to two birthday parties at Silverstone Race Circuit in England - the 30th and 35th birthday celebrations.

Hey Martin! Thanks for the good reminder for everyone! Wow, 65 years! I want to slightly "hi-jack" this birthday thread to invite everyone to the: All British Field Meet, Portland Oregon this upcoming Labor Day Weekend at Portland International Raceway! August 30, 31, and September 1, 2024) ABFM-PDX.com Note that this is probably North America's largest All British Field Meet held at a Racetrack! And, this year, we celebrate the designs of Issigonis, so be prepared to see quite a few Minis and some other cars he designed!

Best, MSH

I believe the first Mini rolled off the production line 65 years ago today.

 

"Happy birthday Mini! On 26 August 1959, motoring history was made. Exactly 65 years ago, the first Mini was launched to the public and its creator, Sir Alexander Arnold Constantine Issigonis................"
