for myself theres no question the issigonis design is the definitive mini, whereas the BMW derivitive is not in laymens terms its too big and far removed from the small nippy runabout its predessesor was .

Having driven both…and my wife ownes a BMW Mini…I have an opinion.
Sure I appreciate the original. Fun, cheap…

But the new one is a better car in almost every way.
The old Mini was not sold in the U.S. after 1967 because it could not meet pollution and safety standards.

Sure it’s sad to replace a classic…the 787 will be a better and more practical airliner for the future than the DC-3.

Time moves on.
It’s not “on our side”…despite what Mick Jagger says. 😀
