MINI Lives Up To Legend On Sales

There's been great fanfare about the 500,000th new MINI rolling out of BMW's Oxford factory - but did you know the original hit that total nearly as quick?

02nd September 2004

An impressive 509,572 Minis had been sold by the end of 1962 - three years and four months after its launch. BMW has hit the mark two months sooner.

The biggest difference in sales is with exports - 284,000 1959-62 cars were sold abroad, but BMW has already shipped 375,000.
