In-Game Description
"The Mini makes a sidewalk into a highway, but its limited power and durability are a mini challenge."

Details
The Mini Cooper Classic seems to serve as a starter vehicle, unlocked from the beginning. It appears as an opponent vehicle in early races, particularly in London. Since there are faster vehicles already available from the beginning of the game, the Mini Cooper Classic tends to be overlooked, however, it can be used in professional mode for gaining extra points.

History
The Mini Cooper is a performance variant of the original Mini produced from 1959 to 2000 by the British Motor Corporation and its successors. It is considered an icon of 1960's British pop culture. It was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century in 1999. It, along with the Cooper S, were successful in racing and rallying, winning the Monte Carlo rally in 1964, 1965, and 1967.

Mods
In HQTM Team's Classic Madness, it is replaced by the Morris Mini Minor. Aside from aesthetics, the car's tuning remains unchanged. A non-playable police cruiser version of the Morris Mini Minor appears in London, replacing the Ford Mustang Cruiser, but Seahawk made it playable with a mod released by himself on MMArchive, this mod also makes the Lamborghini Diablo and the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR used in one of Sajmon14's Eurocity races playable.

In 2013, the Mini Cooper Classic was converted to the original Midtown Madness by Toty.

There are some addon vehicles based on the Mini Cooper Classic, such as the Monster Mini; a massive scaled up version with knobbly tires and the Rally Mini Classic which is an edited version by Aaro4130 made to resemble the Monte Carlo Mini Cooper S.

Trivia

 * This is one of the only two player-driven vehicles to be featured in the demo/trial version of Midtown Madness 2, alongside the Ford Mustang Fastback.
 * In the alpha version of Midtown Madness 2, this car only reused sound effects from the VW New Beetle since it didn't have its own sound effects yet. This has been noticed in the game's trailer. This also applies to the London Cab, the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage, the Ford Mustang Fastback, and the Double-Decker Bus.
 * Going by the vehicle showcase picture, the Mini Cooper Classic is based on a Mark 7 Mini, However it has taillights from the Mark 1 Mini and the door hinges are on the outside. Moreover, the front and back textures appear to be based on photographs from the rally-spec Austin Mini Cooper S. This would explain why the Mini Cooper Classic has taillights from a Mark 1 Mini and why it has black straps attached to the headlights. Some of these inconsistencies were later corrected in the fifth open beta of MM2 Revisited V6.
 * A mod released by BUGATTIMAN253MPH on the Midtown Club Discord server changes the car's headlight texture.
 * In the London checkpoint race, Circuit Within, there is a circuit race near the end of the course with Mini Cooper Classics, hence the name of the race.
 * There are two black squares on the front texture of the Spoon! livery which are actually leftover stripes from Tahiti Blue. Similarly, the British Racing Green paint job has incorrect UV mapping in the fog lights.
 * These texturing errors have been fixed in the fifth beta of MM2 Revisited V6, thanks to an improved and vastly accurate model.
