VIDEO- Brilliant Austin Mini Assembly Film

This vintage BMC narrated clip of the first generation MK1 Mini assembly is as entertaining as it gets.  It shows the build from the scattered beginnings to a competed car being driven out of the factory. The great detail and insight shown solidifies the fact that Sir Alec Issigonis is a mecanical genius. The iconic car would be manufactured untill 2000 and was the inspiration for almost all small front-wheel drive cars produced since the ‘60s.  I could watch historical footage like this all day long.
