About

Welcome to the Big Car channel where I explore the history of your favourite cars from the past fifty years in fun, engaging videos. Come on in! If you like this channel, you might also like my sister channel - Little Car: https://www.youtube.com/littlecar If you need to contact me, e-mail is probably best as I don't check social media very often, but I don't do paid promotions or endorsements, so please don't ask.

Video Description

If British Leyland had a pound for every Mini reboot, they’d still be in business! Ever since it burst on the scene in 1959, designers have been trying to reimagine it for a new era. In the process their failure had made the shape of the original Mini a British cultural icon, like the red telephone box, The Beatles or England losing to Germany at football! So why did it take 41 years until we got a new Mini, when it would seem to make sense to keep updating a car that was selling so well?
