About Mini Custom Hoods

In 1956 the Suez Crisis led to an oil shortage. This in turn led to petrol rationing in the UK, and the sale of gas guzzling large cars slumped. Enter compacts like the Fiat 500, whose tiny engine, and entertaining drive began to gain major traction amongst car buyers. Engineers at Alvis, and the British Motor Corporation took notice and began making a compact runabout that was uniquely British.

The Mini Mark 1 was introduced in 1959, and sold by Austin and Morris. Even with its small stature it was actually loaded with pioneering technology. Innovations like sliding windows, 10 inch wheels, and rubber cone suspension helped the Mini remain compact yet also lightweight and nimble through the European streets. By reducing the size of most traditional automotive elements the Mini was able to retain 4-seater comfort, and even luggage space, while at the same time boasting some of the best fuel economy the world had ever known. After a couple successful years on the market, the design was evaluated by British car magnate John Cooper. Cooper’s Formula 1 heritage and passion for performance saw the Mini boosted, with horsepower doubled to 55 and the addition of disc brakes. All of a sudden the high-demand Mini was now a racing phenomenon.

After the Mark 1, Mini had become a global craze, its design was so timeless it would remain mostly unchanged all the way up to the Mark 7 of the year 2000. This year would mark the end of the Mini’s 41 years of production. After this point in time the brand Mini was acquired by BMW, and after 5.3 Million units produced, the little car as we knew it underwent enormous changes. Gone was the super-compact design, and instead came the new Mini, a sleek hatchback built to compete with the greats of the time like the Ford Focus, Honda Civic, and Volkswagen Golf. Now the Mini Cooper can be found in several models, on top of the standard 3 and 5-door hatchback versions, Canadian shoppers can also choose from a convertible, the Mini Clubman with its extended body for more cargo space, and the Countryman built with a bit of a lift to get to those more diverse off-road locations. The Legacy of John Cooper lives with the current Mini as well, JCW (John Cooper Works) versions can be found across their entire catalogue, featuring race-prepped features and increased performance. Indeed these days the improved Mini line is one of the best reviewed vehicles on the market today, and can be found on Canadian roads through any season be it summer or winter and all in between. To think that what started as a minute fuel-saving car with small 10-inch rims could now support a whole brand of its own, and take your family anywhere you need is amazing. Mini is one of the world’s most resilient, reliable, trendy, and uniquely British brands.
