1981 Austin Mini-Metro 1.3HLS and 2010 MINI Cooper Clubman 2011-10-07

Shows how small cars have grown in the last thirty years or so (although the Metro's tyres and suspension do need pumping up, and it is parked where the drive slopes down to a drain, which exaggerates the comparison a bit). The only things that haven't grown are the windows. The Metro's big glass area was actually trumpeted as a safety feature in early advertisements "(if you see better, you drive better)". I haven't noticed a manufacturer saying anything like that for quite some time!
