That’s a great mini. I remember back in those days that my girlfriend (who is now my wife already for 36 years) owned a special Mini : the Mini Ladies version.

Special blue striping inside and outside, a color matching umbrella obviously stored on the drivers side and many more of such design tricks.

Unfortunately the car didn’t last long but what fun we had with it

Imagine she in her ladies mini while I at that time had a “dream” car for those aged 20 and no money; I owned a Simca Rally II: some road tiles in the front to keep the nose down as it accelerated to its max speed of 140 haha

Nowadays we own Mercedes GLE, S class and a vintage SL but we still smile when we see a vintage mini like this one

Funny how the mini is still mini next to the isetta. ...  

The Isetta certainly has the taller profile...

But I guess that’s what you get when the car gets designed by a fridge manufacturer 😉

Colled

Dreamt of owning one when I was a boy but never got to even driving one. Only the plastics lifestyle remake by BMW which failed to impress me. Best, Martin

The classic mini never gets old.

Modern one is not so bad. ...  

Not for tall people. Comfort is key.

If they just would not call it a Mini....

I have fond memopries of my fellow student's Mini

Which we made some nice tours with: Especially our smuggling tours to Germany! Salzburg is close to the German-Austrian border, and back then, many things, including Single Malt whisky, was a lot cheaper in Germany than in Austria. However, tax regulation...  

Distracted...

Great little numbers, but I got distracted by the 355 Spider in the background. Love the “Italian duo”!

Great
