history
During the 1960s, a British classic Mini emerged in Great Britain , an active and diverse fan base.

This wave also spread to Germany, there are around 6,000 members in more than 100 classic mini communities and over 50 MINI clubs. The website MINISPACE.com has developed into an interactive meeting point .
