what make is a mini cooper
Mini was previously part of the British Motor Corporation (BMC) until 2000. Mini was relaunched by BMW after they bought the rights to the name. It was known prior to that time as an Austin Mini or a Morris MIni, dependent upon where it was sold. So, Mini is the make. BMW owns the rights to the name. Mini's models include the Cooper, Clubman, and Countryman. Let the confusion end!
2014 to Present: Mini Cooper. Under the guidance of BMW, the Mini Cooper was reborn as an upscale small car with a wide selection of options and cosmetic enhancements to personalize the car. But it was also pitched as the most fun you could have in a small car â like the original.
