In 1967 years refined body shape with recessed infusion of fuel and rounded wheel arches. Mk III differed from the Mk II rear window can be opened. They were most frequently produced version of Marcos and only they have the approval of the road (party 50 car has been prepared between February 1967 and January 1968). The disadvantage of cars "civil" was the lack of access to the trunk from the outside. Problem was solved by introducing a factory option - opening rear window. Additional party 40 pieces was licensed in Ireland, and a similar number in South Africa. Organizational problems led to the fall of Marcos Cars Components Ltd 1971 years. The company was bought by Rob Walker and the name Marcos Ltd, launched Mk IV. Opening rear window was standard serial, body has been upgraded – CD is based on a much larger Mini Travellerze. Thanks Marcos was longer and higher, than its predecessors, have more space in the cabin and provide the driver a better position to ride. In 1975 Marcos, the production company was acquired by D&H Harolda Dermotta. With minor changes in the production model remained until 1981 years, Dermott implemented when the production of Midas. After the fire company law and the form of Mini Marcos returned to former owner. In response to the great interest of buyers from Japan in the nineties was ongoing production car – Mk VI.

Equipped with wheels 12 ' (and even 13 'low profile) a slightly modified line arches of air intakes on the bonnet was still characteristic of the models Mk I and II external hinges. Introduced rear spoiler, but the car with him were selling very poorly and quickly withdrawn from the additive. Marcos offer comfort in the form of automatically opening windows and lock, also mounted under the dash air conditioning on the passenger side. Though, they were sold only in the UK the whole production went to export to Japan. Chassis is based on the Mini 1.3i, with a steel body which caused, that access to the Rover was independent of, cheaper and less disruptive. Production continued until 1995 This year, two special samples were prepared racing. In subsequent years, the subsequent sale of rights produced only body panels and. In the wake of the great success Marcosów automotive events in the Goodwood Revival and Silverstone, resumed in 2005 Mk production year. VI entering the GT version of the flip front and merged with plexiglass windows.

Standard equipment was a dinette, double beds, table, hangings, cabinets and water tanks. According to the specifications had to reach up 70 mph, but the real rate was 50 mph.

      Mini de Ville

      Company Harold Radford & What South Kensington in London came up with the idea of ​​manufacturing "mini plush". The base of the car was a "salon" mini, which was equipped with exclusive extras, depending on the tastes and budget of the owner. In April 1963 Some new conversions developed by Graham J. Arnold (Director of Lotus car sales) – called “Mini de Ville”. Versions were offered “Luxury” in “Bel Air” of different packages, the price of 87 of 223 £. You can be equipped with a mini leather seats, Front electric windows, full sunroof, air conditioning and front fenders and headlights of Bentley, walnut interior and upgraded engine 1275 cc, twin carburettors, Power, front disc brakes, Sports exhaust and adjustable gas shock absorbers. Popularly known as "Mini Radford" has become one of the hottest cars of the 60's and has become a favorite car of many stars of music and film (John Lennon, Steve McQueen). Prices of cars were sometimes staggering in 1963 the standard mini living room cost £ 679 and Mini de Ville until 2600 £.

      MiniSprints

      The idea was to reduce air resistance and better adapted for racing cars. In 1965 started with "home-" production cars in Wallisdown. In May 1966 MiniSprint the project was transferred to the garages Corsley'a. This significantly raised the quality of production and trim. Several cars were sent to Copenhagen as well as the buyer in France. In total, produced about 85 MiniSprints before the project was sold to the distributor London British Leyland – Stewart i Arden.

      Steve McQueen

      Even the American film star Steve McQueen had a mini. In Hollywood, it was a very rare and unique car. The actor chose the Mini Cooper S 1275 of 1967 (is given as 1961) Racing Green color but, he liked the car to adapt to his style gave the Mini into the hands of a stylist Lee Brown, who repainted them actor favorite color - brown metallic with beige sunroof. They exchanged a wider circle, Changed inside - fitting brown leather seats, wooden board, and components of door lining. Was the same one fog light on the front bumper.

      Broadspeed GT Coupe

      The most beautiful (by me) mini and my dream to meet after buying a winning lottery ticket with an accumulation of. Currently, it is classified 9 original copies, the rest are replicas. Drowning is as follows: two are in Germany, four in England (two in one owner) rest in Japan. Broadspeed GT Coupe, which produced a total of only 28 copies are rarely encountered in the midst of a copy of 5 387 862 Mini.


      Was produced in the sixties in the Broadspeed Limited of Sparkbrook – who occupied a large part of the market tuning and car accessories in collaboration in with the British Motor Corporation (BMC) Mini and factory in Birmingham.
      The idea for the car came from a famous racing driver and engineer specializing in engine tuning – Ralph Broad belonged to which company.
      The car was designed in 1962 years. The basis was a solid mini, has been duly modified by definition resemble the shape of a car was a luxury car – Martina Astona lub Jaguara DB 6 and provide the missing link of small luxury cars in the family mini-. A characteristic feature of the new model was extended back – cut. This was at the time supporting an essential element of aerodynamics, because the auto was intended to be sportier version. Front end including: mask, wheel, the door remained appearance of a typical mini. The roof and rear (modified) part of the car is made of fiberglass reinforced with steel brackets ensuring the rigidity of the body. As a result, auto retains all the characteristics of a typical mini but with a much reduced mass. And it is these modern for its time materials have given rise to cease production. The car was indeed a modern and fast but expensive.


      Broadspeedy were produced in five versions of the engine capacity:
      • 850 the price 808 Pounds
      • GT 998 (Mini Cooper) – 915 Pounds
      • Lux - 1068 Pounds
      • Super Lux - 1511 Pounds
      • GTS - produced only on special order and for selected customers.
      Auto spite of modern lines and materials used have a losing streak in the automotive world as well as opinion-press. Frequently Broadspeedowi allegations of low production and poor quality of execution. Unfortunately, in practice, these bad reviews are confirmed. Broadspeed GT production was completed in 1968 years, Sparkbrook when the workshops were to be demolished, to make room for the newly constructed bypass.
      After the fall of Broadspeed GT in the UK car forms were sent to Australia, where a small number was produced by Brian Foley Motors eliminating quality problems.
      Foley Broadspeeda produced based on the Cooper S with a basic version of the de luxe mini engine without modification, and version 2 +2 With. Engine modifications introduced in Super Delux model and they rely on changing the head of the compression 10,5:1, using a larger shaft and two carburettors jednocalowych “YOUR ", thereby providing power 90 KM.
      It was the thoroughbred sports car. Established a record in the legendary race around Australia. Broadspeed GTS was also the best car racing season 1966/67.

      Mini 1275GT

      Mistakenly called the Clubman GT, Mini 1275GT was “male racer” and the only sporting Mini sold in the UK after a year 1971, when production ceased Cooper S with an engine capacity 1275 cm ³. Characterized by a lower purchase price, was also cheaper to use than its predecessor. Introduced a unique upholstery, specimens of which were modified in 1975 in 1977 (external as well as emblems), three-spoke steering wheel with GT stamp and first triple tachometer clocks.

      Podobnie jak pozostałe Clubmany – Estate i Saloon charakteryzował się on kwadratowym przodem, zmieniony grill, bumpers and headlights. Clubmany were also precursors to shift clocks from the middle of the board on the driver's side. Modification of engineers liked it, that made it all Mini. GT stand suitable emblems and distinctive stripes on the sides of the car. Auto had a very good performance: acceleration of 0 of 60 mi / h (96 km / h) was 12,9 seconds, and thanks to the perfectly matched torque in top gear could increase the speed of 30-50 miles / h in 9 seconds.
      From 1974 roku 1275GT był pierwszym autem oferowanym z oponami, na których można było kontynuować jazdę po ich przebiciu, model można było zamawiać z 12-calowymi opona Dunlop Denovo. Ogumienie to nie pękało i nie uchodziło z niego szybko powietrze, dzięki temu można było bezpiecznie kontynuować jazdę z prędkością nieprzekraczającą 50 mi / h. Jednakże hałas podczas jazdy i relatywnie zła przyczepność sprawiły, że ta opcja często była ignorowana przez nabywców. Clubmany były lepiej wyposażone, ale konsekwencją zmian była wyższa cena auta w stosunku do „klasycznego” mini.

      The most interesting "version of a" Mini 1275GT Australian model was produced from July 1971. This basically MK I with preserved outer hinges, dual tail lamps and a small rear window. It marked the atrapce Mini emblem in red, original handles and straps on the hood and side of the car looks a bit like a shark gills, Hydrolastic suspension and dual carburetors.

Mini Wood & Pickett Mial Tez Mick Jagger of the actuator Laurence Harvey.

      Wolseley Hornet i Riley Elf

      Wolseley Hornet i Riley Elf produced from the early sixties were a small fraction of, luxury mini. Characterized by a larger car trunk - version sedan, characteristic front and a large amount of chromium with better quality interior: damping mats, leather seats and carpet in the trunk. Elves were differing versions of sports Hornet lack stamp on the grill, both at the beginning produced with an engine capacity 848 cm ³.

      In 1962 Mk version. II engine was introduced cooperowski 998 and in September 1964 - Suspension of a Hydrolastic. In 1966 Mark introduced. III, where the door hinges are located inside the center. This idea appealed to engineers and used it in a production of the classic Mini.


      In 1969 Wolseley'a discontinued Hornet and Riley Elf replacing them Clubman model.

      Mini ERA

      Mini ERA Turbo was to be a replacement for the Mini Cooper S. Between 1989 – 1990 produced 99 limited copies in the UK market (in colors: 53 BRG, 30 Red, 9 black, 4 White and 3 Silver) and 337 Japanese (in colors: 180 BRG, 157 Red). Based car as much as possible on standard Austin Rover components to eliminate lengthy and costly pre-production testing, however, introduces high standards and top quality technical achievements in the form of a modern automobile, comfortable and refined interior.

      The name comes from Angielski Racing Automobiles ERA in brief. company was founded in 1933 year by Humphrey Cook, a wealthy Englishman with a great passion for motor racing and determination to build a race car competing in the international arena. The company has focused on building the capacity of small cars to 1,5 l. The ERA was first shown to the public 22 May 1934. Auto successfully compete with Maserati, Ferrari, Aston Martin and Bugatti reaching the status of the most successful race car in Europe. After years of turmoil, the company was purchased by Solex, the name was changed to 1954 na Engineering Research & Application Ltd. and became a research center carburetors and fuel system. After 35 year break, ERA has returned to the small car design powerful and recognizable as a Mini, however, characteristic of the ERA – Mini Turbo, Type M. Fastest Mini models with excellent torque was conceived as a safe and predictable car in the hands of inexperienced drivers. Marcosów designer Dennis Adams made changes in body – aggressive spoilers fit, sporty appropriately matched to the increased power cars.

      The interior is completely changed, luxurious materials used - leather and carefully selected fabrics. Changed dashboard answering modern standards, but with a hint of classicism – without digital devices. Specially designed sports seats have comfort guaranteed, also changed the position of the famous "bus driver" for a more comfortable, eliminating the noise in the cabin with special damping mats.
      Power came from a well-known Austin Rover Series engine 1300 turbo, which gives reliable 94 HP at 6200 rpm, power was more important than the match averaged torque throughout the rev range, the performance of the car as high as possible. The car is sufficient to ensure user satisfaction and excitement from, but also "obey" in traffic. Mini turbo assembly required many hours of engineering and modification so that a small engine compartment to fit all the necessary arrangements and do not change body.

      Appropriate modifications to the cooling water and oil to the engine and transmission to be sufficiently effective even at high temperatures. Of course, the introduction of increased power would be useless and dangerous without proper modification of the suspension and brakes. The suspension is designed by computer simulation, which are then tried out in practice on the test track at Castle Combe. Specially designed with lowered suspension is essential for the power 1,5 gradual negative, with increasing gap minimizes wheel oversteer - the problem front-wheel cars. Uses shock absorbers with adjustable firmness and around the entire car ospojlerowanie, which resulted in a car that was lower and even more "stuck to the road". Modified braking system consisted of ventilated front disc brakes with four-piston calipers, while the modified rear drums and shoes. Brake assist system that caused the brakes to react under light pressure on the pedal. The system has been so modernized, work to optimize the car's brakes and stability even under the harshest conditions. Era equipped with a one-piece alloy wheels in size 6×13”, low-profile Goodyear tires in size 165x60x13 "and each wheel is checked and balanced before assembly. Were secured on the car anti-theft screws.

      Moke

      Moke is an archaic term donkey, the name was not chosen, because the car was to be supported by the British Army in difficult terrain. Originally conceived as a light military vehicle because of the small wheels and a low suspension in practice did not work, gained popularity only in the civilian version of the commercial vehicle. Especially liked the tropical beach resorts of acting as a vehicle. Was produced at the factory in Oxford Mini, later in Birmingham to eventually move production abroad to Australia and Portugal, where 1993 produced last copy. The first models were produced in the color "green spruce", later introduced a white color.

      Accessories, inter alia, such as tarpaulin, if the new owner had sprinklers installed in bought yourself a car. Extremely simple construction panels, windscreen and removable tubular structure "cabin" cause, that you can basically make the same repairs and replacement of parts. All components are the same as in the standard mini. Australian version is equipped with wheels 13, Portuguese gained a stiffer structure "cage" and the possibility of imposing canvas areas including door and side zipper.

      Ogle 1000 SX

      The first cars OGLE 1000 SX were produced on the chassis supplied by the client Mini with bodywork made of glass fiber by the establishment of David Ogle. Conversion cost only 550 £. From 1962 you could buy complete cars manufactured on the basis of a Mini Cooper with an engine capacity 997, but in principle any Mini chassis specification was accepted. It is recognized, that produced 66 Car pieces, which 41 survived to the present day. After the death of the owner of the company stopped production, last OGLE 1000 SX left the factory in 1964, a w 1966 forms were sold to Fletcher engaged in building boats. The company unveiled a concept car GT Fletcher 1967 na Show Car Racing.
