The number of countries in which the Cowley-built Mini is on sale has passed the 100 mark.

The full range will go on sale in Jordan with a branch in the centre of the capital, Amman.

The move follows a new sales record being achieved in the Middle East by Mini and parent company BMW vehicles with 18,657 cars being snapped up in the region.

The most popular markets were the Emirates Abu Dhabi and Dubai, alongside Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar.
