There was actually an English car called a

similar mechancially to the Mini, but larger.
Similar in a few respects (same manufacturer, transverse engine, similar
front-wheel transmission arrangement) but actually the Maxi was based on
the Austin/Morris 1100, which is a bit bigger than a Mini and a rather
different shape and a very different interior layout. The Maxi was
bigger still - though nevertheless something any American would call a
"small car".
