MINI Launch Preview Video 1997 (New 10 Minute Version) :)

Just uploaded this interesting new extended 10 minute version of the 'New MINI preview in 1997' as first shown on the 'Men & Motors' TV channel at the time.......copied from some old vhs video tapes that I have recently started transferring over onto DVD.

Interviews with Nick Stephenson (Rover Group Design Director) and John Cooper :cool: at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show Preview of the New MINI. With BMW investment the MINI (R50) project was being designed and developed by Rover Engineers at Gaydon with production planned for the Longbridge factory.........
