The portfolio includes not only the original small cars, but also, as is well known, various other variants that have clearly outgrown this class - such as Clubman and Countryman. What all versions have in common is that they are extremely popular and celebrate impressive successes. In the tuning area, the sporty versions Cooper S and John Cooper Works in particular met with a great response. But the
