Can the Mini Actually Outrun the Alfa in Real Life?

The Italian Job movie with Michael Caine was fantastic, but I've always wandered about the car chase, was the 1960 Mini Cooper really fast enough to outrun the Alfa Romeo Giulia? and which is a better buy and is going to appreciate more in the future?
