    The cute little car was born as the '60s kicked off and came to symbolize the swinging era along with the Beetles and Carnaby Street. Now owned by the German giant, BMW, new life was breathed into the classic with the new generation MINI launched in 2001. Range now includes hatches, a convertible, a wagon, and a crossover model.
