The Last Classic Mini - The MPi
The Minis in the showrooms between late 1996 and October 4th 2000 had the most dramatic updates made to the car in its entire 41 year history. So what makes them so different?
Note: In later years, these Mini's have became commonly known as the mpi models - multi-point injection. They can easily be identified by their air-bag steering wheel, roof-mounted aerial and front-mounted radiator.
