[DMCForum] Re: opinions of mini cooper's (OT)



My aunt had original Mini. 12 inch rims. Door too small for a window
regulator (windows slid sideways like original VW bus). Dashboard too
small to put speedometer in front of steering wheel -- located in
middle of dash instead. Engine about size of loaf of bread. Produced
40 HP I believe.

Yet car still drove like bat from below...

If you're looking for a tiny British import, consider the
Metropolitans imported by Nash in late 50's to early 60's. Extensive
parts and support via AMC clubs and national organization. Pretty much
same formula except coupe (with trunk accessed behind back seat
because there wasn't enough room for hinges). Made a convertible too.

and how they have been recieved by the press. My sister in law has one
in grey and I was quite impressed when I drove it. Since our cars are
so unique the cooper is another example of something different out on
the roads. As small as it is it actually seats 4 and as large as our
car is it only seats 2...
