Minissima

The Minissima is a small concept city car that was designed by William Towns (as the Townscar) as his idea for a replacement for the Mini in 1972.

In common with the Mini it was designed around 10" wheels and the BMC A-Series engine. It is 30" (75 cm) shorter than the Mini and designed to park end-on to the kerb, having only one door - at the rear. It has four seats, two at the front, front facing, and two facing inwards at the rear.

BLMC displayed the car on their stand at the 1973 London Motor Show.
