FIFTY years ago today a motoring legend was born in Oxford.
The first Mini to roll off the production line emerged from the Cowley car plant on May 8, 1959, ready for its debut on forecourts later that summer.
Half a century later, and having spawned more than 5,300,000 descendents in a 41-year lifespan, that original car came back to its birthplace.

I believe the official launch was in August. It's the age-old question...when is a Mini/MINI born? Either way.....hooray for Mini!!!!
