The end of production in October 2000 not only signalled the end of original Mini production after 41 years, but also brought about the demise of the 1275 cc engine which had powered the Mini and numerous other BL, BMC and ARG cars for more than 35 years. The Mini continued to be produced at Longbridge until October 2000, and an estimated 5.38 million were built. The last Classic Mini was built in October 2000, at Longbridge.
