Her Mini Cooper

I was created in 1959 during a fuel shortage by Greek visionary Sir Alec Issigonis. John Cooper stepped in to help make me a race/rally car! I became an icon of the 60s Mod scene and have made appearances in movies and on TV. I've even had a SONG written about me!Driving me can be a fashion statement! I am a seductive mistress turning some drivers into fanatics about me. People that own me, regardless of their social appearances are often eccentric, brilliant and have a flair for going their own way. They spend lots of money modifying me and making me even more beautiful. But beyond my great beauty I am a speed demon and you can handle any curves that come your way with finesse. I grip the road like the race car I was designed to be. I don't want to brag but I won the Monte Carlo rally three times! I won "Car of the Century" in 1995, "Number One Classic Car of All Time" in 1996, "European Car of the Century" in 1999 and many more but despite this plethora of accolades I am really quite modest.
