Under BMW auspices, the second-generation MINI Convertible had a short production life, the final examples rolling off the assembly line in 2015. This example seen in Gulfport FL shows off its Union Jack flourishes.
Certainly no longer retains its Clubman nose, despite being registered as such originally. This car now has a one piece fibre glass front end. Presumably the mods extend to the engine too.

Had a family member hand craft this cutting board. Thought it would make a nice prop for food photography, so I gave it a go. BTW, the mini bundts are delish!!!
these mini little horses were pulling a wagon for the kids at our town's christmas extravaganza. this event essentially hosts sales put on by local businesses, in order to get people christmas shopping. it was really hard to get in the spirit when there was no snow on the ground & the sun was shinning at about +5. that was a week ago. now there is several inches of snow on top of a layer of ice. it has been hell getting around town, and we have been freezing our duffs off doing it. finally feeling the cabin fever, i packed a couple of thermos' full of hot cocoa & braved the snow hill this afternoon. we had a blast! grateful for having the energy to get out there!
my daugher absolutely loved this wagon ride, and went on three seperate times. complete with a bokeh cowboy :)

"Juguetes Gozán is another Spanish toy company that has recently disappeared."
(...)
"(...) the Pascual family, founded Juguetes Gozán in 1948, together with other mechanics from Payá.
Their first product was a truck made of wood with a cabin made of tin. That tin was retrieved from cans of condensed milk, and the model they built was a famous Spanish truck at that time: Pegaso.
Unfortunately, Gozán disappeared as a company in February 2009. At that time the company had less than 5 employees.
A distinctive sign of this company is the tin used in their toys, very common until the mid-80s. They built mainly trucks, jeeps and cars, but also cranes.
This car here is an exception, because it’s completely made of plastic."

"The Mini is the small car icon of the 1960s. It was produced by BMC (British Motor Corporation) starting with 1959 and was the first car to get the front-wheel-drive.
This space saving solution influenced all the manufacturers, as nowadays FWD is the most popular drive-train layout.
The new MINI was launched in 2001 and got to replace the legend with updates for the 21st Century.
The revolutionary design of the Mini was created by Sir Alec Issigonis (1906–1988), considered a visionary in industrial transportation.
It was intended as an affordable vehicle in response to the oil crisis.
Along its production period it was built at the Cowley plants in the United Kingdom, and afterwards in Australia, Belgium, Chile, Italy, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Uruguay and Venezuela.
(...)
The Mini was designed as a result of the 1956 Suez Crisis, which reduced oil supplies, and forced the UK government saw to introduce petrol rationing.
(...)
Issigonis, that was reputed as being very skilled in designing small vehicles was assigned to this task. Together with a small team of designers Issigonis got to produce the original prototype by October 1957.
The new vehicle was using a conventional BMC four-cylinder water-cooled engine, but had the innovation of mounting it transversely with the the engine oil lubricated, four-speed transmission placed in the sump, and with FWD."
(...)
"The First Mini in production version shown to the press in April 1959, and by August several thousand vehicles had been produced ready for sales.
The name “Mini” was not used form the beginning of production. In early advertising material was used the name “SE7EN”. An already famous Morris model at that time was the Minor, which is Latin for “smaller”. So, for the even smaller car the decided to use the abbreviation for the Latin word “minimus”, which means “the smallest”.

BREVE HISTORIA DE AUTHI Y LOS MINI FABRICADOS EN ESPAÑA.
"La sociedad AUTHI S.A.( Automóviles de Turismo Hispano Ingleses S.A.) nace oficialmente el 12 de noviembre de 1966 con un capital de 200 millones de pesetas y estaba formada principalmente por la Compañía Nueva Montaña Quijano, firma santanderina de larga tradición en España Esta Compañía fabricaba desde 1956, muchos elementos y componentes para FASA-RENAULT
Cuando años después FASA-RENAULT, deja de comprar dichos componentes, se pensó pronto en la BMC como la firma con la que fabricar algunos de sus modelos como el MINI y el MORRIS 1.100.
Fueron el Marqués de Huidobro por la Compañía AUTHI y George Harriman por la BMC quienes finalmente firmaron el acuerdo entre ambas Compañías.
Se decidió la construcción de una fábrica en la localidad navarra de LANDABEN cerca de PAMPLONA, en donde inicialmente se construirían los MORRIS, los MG, y poco tiempo después los MINI .
En cuanto a la elección de NAVARRA, fue por sus peculiaridades fiscales en aquella época, además estaba bien comunicada con el País Vasco, Aragón y Cataluña."
(...)
" En 1969, se confirma la fabricación de los MINI , se anuncian para el tercer/cuarto trimestre del año en curso los modelos 1.275 y 1000 c.c. con un precio de 125.000 y 92.500 franco fábrica.
El 14 de abril de 1969, se presentan en el Feria de Barcelona, Sector del Automóvil, los MINI 1000-E y S( Standard ).
(...)
Curiosamente en España, el MINI 850 fue el último modelo en salir, concretamente fue en febrero de 1970 y con un precio de 80.000 pesetas.
(...)
En diciembre de 1973, AUTHI, presenta el modelo MINI COOPER 1.300.
(...)
El 9 de octubre de 1974, acontece un suceso lamentable, es el grave incendio de la factoría, al parecer suceso totalmente fortuito y que ocasiona pérdidas por valor de 500 millones de pesetas, y deja en el paro a 1.700 empleados.
(...)
Se intenta salvar a AUTHI, creando un Consorcio entre SEAT, CITROEN Y RENAULT, pero no fue posible llegar a un acuerdo.
(...)
Finalmente el Gobierno insta al INI para que vía SEAT se haga cargo de la fábrica de LANDABEN. En mayo de 1975, dejan de fabricar restando como única actividad la comercialización de las unidades del stock. Los coches de AUTHI, están presentes en las listas de precios hasta 1976.
En julio de 1975 se llegó a un acuerdo entre BLMC y SEAT y el precio pagado fue al parecer de 1.250 millones de pesetas. LANDABEN pasa a ser controlada por SEAT, cambiando el equipo gestor e iniciando la fabricación del SEAT –124 (Febrero de 1976)."

olha que coisinha mais linda que minha irmã fez de biscuit, ficou tão fofo!
O flickr da minha irmã:
My favourite limited edition Mini, in the nicer of the two colour options, and a real special rather than a sticker and a sunroof on a base car. Sadly this one is very unoriginal, the roof should be tan, the wheels are wrong-the original alloys were lovely, the arch extentions are too big, the list goes on, but at least it's still here..
I had a spare small frame sitting around, so I turned it into another mini-version mobile suit. The GM Sniper is one of my all-time favorite suits, despite having a grand total of like 15 seconds screentime. Someday I'll do one in my medium frame size, just need to bricklink a fair amount of parts first.
Ruthie is wearing Mini Molly's skirt, a Kripplebush shirt and the first sweater I knitted for Mini Molly's Hawaiian Hula outfit along with a felt beret that I made.
