A Brief History of MINI Cooper Cars

Few cars can have ever had the same impact as that of the Mini, in fact in a poll of the most influential cars of the twentieth century the Mini Cooper car was beaten by only one other car, the Model T Ford. With a design brief influenced by necessity, no one could have predicted how popular the Mini would go on to become.

1956 was a year that saw petrol rationing being reintroduced to Britain as a consequence of the Suez crisis, sales of larger cars slumped and as a result, Alec Issigonis was given a design brief by Leonard Lord (the then head of the British Motor Corporation), to build a radical new car, the main requirements being that the whole car should be able to fit into a box measuring 10 feet x 4 feet x 4feet and that six feet of this box should be devoted to passenger occupation.

Without doubt, the greatest innovation on the Mini was the fact that the engine was turned sideways, the gearbox was mounted beneath it in the oil sump and because of this, it could be squeezed in to drive the front wheels, using far less space than any rivals at the time. Many hurdles had to be overcome to get this new radical design to work, but within two years Issigonis had a working prototype to show Leonard Lord.

Two years later, in April 1959, the Mini was demonstrated to the press and by August of the same year, thousands of Mini's had been produced ready to go on sale to the general public. Although sales were modest, to begin with, they soon picked up with over one million Mk I mini's being sold throughout the sixties.  - and following this relaunch, there have been expansions in the model group, with convertible and electric versions being releasedUnbelievably the basic Mini never turned in a profit through this period because it was sold for less than it cost to produce, this may well have been to stay competitive, however, it has also been rumoured that this was a mistake that can be traced back to the accounting department.

From those humble beginnings, the Mini has had many variations and derivatives over the decades and has become the most popular British car in the world, all this was however to come to an end in 2000 with the collapse of MG Rover. Or was it, BMW now owned MG Rover and after the last Mini was built ownership of the Mini brand reverted back to BMW. Seeing how popular the Mini had been over the past four decades, BMW decided to design and build a brand new Mini. Reaction from the Mini purists is mixed, the public however has no misgivings and the new BMW MINI is proving to be just as popular as the old Mini - and following this relaunch, there have been expansions in the model group, with convertible and electric versions being released

Professional & user-friendly
It was a pleasure doing business - efficient, professional and responded quickly to my queries. Buying a new car is a big (for me!) financial commitment, but doing so over the internet not via a dealer was also challenging (especially for my wife!) - however, initial due-diligence checks and the interactions resolved any concerns......my new Kia Sportage GT-Line HEV was delivered a few days ago, no delivery issues and it looks and drives great! Most important result - a very happy partner!!

Excellent Service
Second car purchased through Broker4Cars and on both occasions had excellent service and best possible price. During 20 week waiting time kept well informed of situation and all questions answered by helpful company rep. Anyone having second thoughts about buying online should have no worries when dealing with Broker4Cars

New Car Purchase - Hyundai Santa Fe
I would highly recommend this service. The price was better than the dealership (c. £2k after broker fee), the service was excellent throughout and the car was delivered to the door on time.
The only very minor disappointment was the car was dirty on arrival but the delivery driver offered to get it cleaned before leaving.

First time car broker deal - better than
We went to the main dealer showroom, knew what we wanted but just didn't trust the salesmen's claims we could break their 48 month finance contract ( used to offer a dealer discount) after 6 months without penalty . So what were our alternatives. We considered other brokers, but after some research were more than impressed with the comments regarding Broker4Cars over all others. Somewhat nervously we contacted Broker4Cars, bearing in mind we had never bought a car this way before and therefore were very cautious about the whole thing. Having spoken to him, who put us completely at ease, we were highly impressed with the whole service we received from him and the team. He sourced the exact car that we wanted ( garage told us it wouldn't be available for 8 months from the factory !) within a week and 2 weeks later it arrived on our drive. The price that we paid for the car was really competitive and came out far less than what the garage salesman was offering including their dealers discount/incentive for signing their finance deal. The whole Broker4Cars process was simple and faultless and at no time did we have any concerns, even when it came to paying over a huge chunk of cash. Couldn't recommend Broker4Cars enough and definately use them again.
