The new Mini bears no relation to the original except for a few design cues. The new one is built by BMW at their Oxford, England factory and is a surprisingly large car (I believe it has nearly the same wheelbase as a Land Rover Discovery!). My g/f has one of each, old and new, and the new 'un is a cracking car to drive. Keep pestering hubby Wendy! Chris
