Since the 1950s, MINI has continually reinvented its design language without losing its unique identity. Take a look at our model overview to see how the classic Mini has changed over the last 40 years.
The "classic Mini" is the original small car model built from 1959 to 2000, while "MINI" in all capital letters has been used as a trademark for the new generation since 2001. The different spelling serves to clearly distinguish the classic model from the new generation.
