"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)."

This Mini - a real British Mini, not a Mini built by BMW in Britain - is for sale at C&G Auto Repairs in Verona, New Jersey. It's American-spec, left-hand drive and everything. It may go at a moderate speed on the road, but it's likely to go fast on the lot. ;-)

My camera is missing, so I am sorry I couldn't do a better picture of this.
Here is my latest project. It started that I wanted to display my collection of the collectible mini figures. Then I thought I should add in my licensed mini figures(Star Wars, Batman, Toy Story, Harry Potter, etc) and then I thought I should add in each unique mini figure I have! So I'm working on getting the mini figures complete. Haven't decided yet if I will add weapons, wands, etc to everyone.
Clearly I'll have to build a display for them to stand on to because they fall over easily if the shelf is bumped and everyone will be clearly seen.
