I know what you mean, that a good point. But I think you should if your a fan of the Classic Mini. they do for other car manufactures that don't exisit anymore.

They still have kept manufacture at longbridge and kept the John Cooper name. And the 1st gen cars where developed by Rover as BMW had never setup a FWD car before. And it was going to be a Rover car until BMW sold them.
