The MINI Concept Tokyo is based on the Traveller, and shares that car"s estate roofline and vertically split twin rear doors. And, despite its practical configuration, there are plenty of sporty styling cues - including Cooper S-inspired twin tailpipes and an air intake on the bonnet. There is also an array of gadgets, including a pair of chairs and a table built into the roof, and a "Sports Utility Box" fitted over the open rear side windows. The luxurious cabin has studded leather seats with a floating design to give the impression of space.

The firm, which was formed in 1886, originally made only a few hundred spark plugs a year. Today, that figure is around 300million, built mainly at the Bamberg plant in Germany.

"More than 20,000 different types of plug have been developed over the last 100 years," explained a spokesman. "And because many of the latest engines have bespoke spark plugs, the range has grown to more than 1,250 variants."

Bosch says its plugs should last between 12,000 and 18,000 miles - around 30 times longer than they did 100 years ago.
