Mini as a car was extremely fuel economic and this factor alone brought in a lot of sales for the car. The British Motor Corporation used its own Configurations in most of its cars. The BMC A series a four cylinder water cooled Configuration was used vastly in the BMC cars. BMC eventually deviated from its tradition of traversely mounted Configurations to the sump and also to the front wheel. Drive. Most of the cars developed by BMC had the same technology after that. But this was specific to smaller cars and so was the case with the Mini.
