Mini originated as one specific vehicle, a small car originally known as the Morris Mini-Minor launched by the British Motor Corporation in 1959. The original two-door Mini continued in production until 2000. Development of a successor began in 1995 and the new generation car was launched in 2001. The Mini Hatch/Hardtop, Clubman and Convertible are assembled at Plant Oxford in Cowley, United Kingdom and the Countryman is assembled by Magna Steyr in Austria. The Mini brand has had a number of owners during its history. In 1966 the British Motor Corporation became part of British Moto the Mini brand has had a number of owners during its history. In 1966 the British Motor Corporation became part of British Motor Holdings and in 1968 British Motor Holdings merged with Leyland Motors to form Leyland Holdings and in 1968 British Motor Holdings merged with Leyland Motors to form British Leyland. The Mini was again marketed under the Austin name in the 1980s. Mini came about because of a fuel shortage caused by the 1956 Suez Crisis. Petrol was once again rationed in the UK, sales of large cars slumped, the market for German Bubble cars boomed. Leonard Lord, the somewhat autocratic head of BMC, reportedly detested these cars so much that he vowed to rid the streets of them and design a 'proper miniature car´. He laid down some bas ic design requirements: the car should be contained within a box that measured 10 × 4 × 4 an existing unit. Issigonis, who had been working for Alvis, had been recruited back to BMC in 1955 and, with his skills in designing small cars, was a natural for the task.

It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company of Atlanta (United States). It was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton, Coca-Cola was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler. The company produces concentrate, which is then sold to licensed Coca-Cola bottlers throughout the world. In 1892 Candler incorporated a second company, The Coca-Cola Company, and in 1910 Candler had the earliest records of the company burned, further obscuring its legal origins. By the time of its 50th anniversary, the drink had reached the status of a national icon in the USA. On April 23, 1985, Coca-Cola, amid much publicity, attempted to change the formula of the drink with "New Coke". When launched Coca-Cola's two key ingredients were cocaine and caffeine. The exact formula of Coca-Cola's natural flavorings is a trade secret. The famous Coca-Cola logo was created by John Pemberton's bookkeeper, Frank Mason Robinson, in 1885. Pepsi is usually second to Coke in sales, but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets. Around the world, some local brands compete with Coke. Studies indicate that Coca-Cola and other soft drinks can be harmful if consumed excessively, particularly to young children.

  • How British Leyland Grew Itself to Death by Geoff Wheatley British Car Network
    How British Leyland Grew Itself To Death By Geoff Wheatley British Car Network I have always wondered how a British motor company that made trucks and other commercial vehicles, ever got its hands on Jaguar, Triumph, and of course MG. Furthermore, how this successful commercial company managed to lose the goodwill and loyal customers of these popular vehicles. The story starts some fifteen years before British Leyland became part of the domestic vehicle market in the UK, and of course overseas, especially for Jaguar, a top international brand name in the post war years. In the early 1950s the idea of Group Industries was the flavor of the month. Any company worth its salt was ready to join forces with a willing competitor, or several competitors to form a “Commercial Group”. In consequence we had the Textile Groups, International Banking Groups, The British Nylon Group, Shell and BP Group etc. The theory was simple, by forming production groups producing similar products and exchanging both marketing and production techniques, costs would be reduced and sales would increase. The British Government, who had an investment in the British Motor Industry to help the growth of exports to earn needed US Dollars, was very much in favor of the Group Policy being applied to the major production companies in the UK including the Nuffield Organization and Austin Corporation. Smaller companies like Jaguar who were also successful exporters were encouraged to take the same view on production and sales, however they did not jump on the “Group” bandwagon and remained independent for a few more years.

One hundred years ago to the day, the first ‘Bullnose’ Morris Oxford was built by William Morris just a few hundred metres from where the modern MINI plant stands. With a weekly production of just 20 vehicles in 1913, the business grew rapidly and over the century 11.65 million cars were produced, bearing 13 different British brands and one Japanese. Almost 500, 000 people have worked at the plant in the past 100 years and in the early 1960s numbers peaked at 28,000. Today, Plant Oxford employs 3,700 associates who manufacture up to 900 MINIs every day. Congratulating the plant on its historic milestone, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "The Government is working closely with the automotive industry so that it continues to compete and thrive in the global race and the success of MINI around the world stands as a fine example of British BMW Group Company Postal Address manufacturing at its best.
