Moggie 1000 engine??

No.

998cc Cooper. But Min *is* a Morris as opposed to an Austin.

I beg to differ, my Austin Mini Seven ours too was a D reg.

And for the cycling link, the Hydrolastic suspension system was designed by Alex Moulton.

Came across a nicely done up and likely souped up mini the other day. Under the bonnet was a work-of-art with various tig welded pipes and polished ally rocker cover and so on. Was going to post it in the classic car thread but more suitable here I think

Min or Min Min is what I call my Mini.

Comes from a Peter Sellers quote: "It's clear, Min, it sounds real cool. Get your woollen crash hat on, I'm taking it out on a trial run"

Incidentally, all Coopers / Cooper S were made at Longbridge regardless of whether they were Morrises or Austins - as denoted by the letter A on the end of the chassis number.
