   Is it? I am sure we had a car over here called a
'Mini Cooper' that was
  based on the original Mini.

Mini Cooper was derived from the original Mini by John Cooper and Alec Issigonis and first
appeared in 1961. The BMW Mini also exists in a Mini Cooper version, tuned by John
Cooper's company, now owned by BMW.
