[@271chrissy]

What a clean and magical part of time.

[@juliancroft93]

Made in a time when everything and life was so much simpler

[@KiranSan]

A true classic automobile

[@richmpiblue5220]

Brilliant archive footage.

[@peterroberts2737]

I remember them well, 18 years old with a mini, we really were the bees knees. Good times.

[@winstonpoole9906]

In 1971 I fitted a 1275 cc engine to my 1965 848 cc mini...spun the wheels in 2nd...

[@crumplezone1]

A series engine was awesome, I cut my teeth on taking them apart and putting them back together

[@AdarshRai-yc1gu]

The last great small car!

[@wiedietie]

What an era.

[@christopherrankine1364]

Mk2 Cooper S. Just phenomenal!

[@greatbritishmale]

Baby Austin, I like it. Shame BTC ended, now all the cars made in Britain are for foreign companies.

[@Scrubworks]

Not true. Lotus is still producing cars in the same factory in Norfolk they've been using since the start, not to mention Caterham, Noble, Ascari, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Jaguar and Land Rover.

[@greatbritishmale]

Lotus is owned by a malaysian company, Caterham is owned by a malaysian, ascari owned by a dutchman, rolls royce by bmw, bentley by volkswagen, jaguar and land rover by tata motors. Noble is the only one that is owned by and headwquarterd in Britain, but its hardly a household name. My point wasn't that they aren't made in the UK, but that the are owned by foreign companies or individuals.

[@paulnolan1352]

They didn’t do much testing in the rain then?, couldn’t have failed to notice all the water filling the back of the car up.

[@bob-sb2zu]

How times change ! They're trying hard to get us to abandon our cars for buses now !

[@wiseoldfool]

I don't remember BMC ever claiming 50mpg.

[@nicks4934]

Safe? Mmmm. Ask Marc Bolan

[@paulnolan1352]

You ‘d have to get the ouija board out.

[@christophercook723]
