One of the challenges of making a model of the Mini car is deciding which badges to put on the model. The Mini was produced from 1959 to 2000 by parent companies with three different names: British Motor Corporation, British Leyland and Austin Group. During that period the car was marketed under at least 14 different names. I decided to build a model based on the Mark II, 1967 Austin Mini in the estate version, mainly because I saw one recently.
The Mini had a 1.0 L, inline, transverse engine with a four-speed manual transmission housed in the engine’s oil sump. The car’s front-wheel drive allowed for more room inside this tiny car. It had a wheel base of 2.04 m, a length of 3 m and a width of only 1.4 m. The Mark II Mini was made in Britain and assembled in eight other countries.
