The 850 lasted until about 1980, although most people went for the
1000 which was the most popular.

If you wanted anything quicker, you either went for the 1275GT
(Clubman) or the MK3 Cooper S. However, the Cooper was discontinuted
in the early '70s.

My sister drives a 1994/5 Mini Tahiti (special edition). I've just
rebuilt the front discs on it. That is one of the last carb 1275 and
is good fun to drive :-)

I'm in the US and there's a guy that works at our local Pizza Hut restaurant that has three different Minis that he delivers pizzas
with. He has a regular(?) Mini, a Countryman and a convertible.

It is a VERY, VERY, nice car.
By that time, the English Automotive Industry was on the top.
I friend of mine has a 1972 MGB
