The records continue to pile up for the Cowley-built Mini.
Figures released by parent company BMW show it recorded a best-ever worldwide sales performance in 2011 with 285,060 vehicles finding owners, a rise of 21.7 per cent on 2010.
The five-door Countryman model proved popular, with 89,036 deliveries in its first full year of sales.
A total of 29,467 cars were sold in December alone, 16.2 per cent more than for the same month in 2010.
BMW sales and marketing board member Ian Robertson said: “Looking ahead, we want to continue to grow, with balanced sales growth across all continents and we plan to remain the world’s top selling premium automaker in 2012.”
