Some companies make no bones about the fact that they analyse existing designs in their particular field, then try to improve upon them. While the designers in the Mini Minor’s case are known to have studied most of the small cars on the market during the seven years of design and development of their own, this brain child does not seem to bear a likeness to any particular forerunner. The 850cc design bristles with originality, yet there is nothing remotely freakish about it. The Morris Mini Minor has been found to set new standards of comfort and road-worthiness in the very small family car class.
