The Story of Mini
The Story of Mini is a pocket-sized and beautifully illustrated celebration of the iconic car. For more than 60 years, the Mini has been one of the most beloved and instantly recognisable cars on the road. From its humble beginnings with the British Motor Corporation in 1959, to the modern BMW-backed models of today, The Story of Mini tells the story of the car and the unique culture that has built up around it. Exploring the evolution of Mini design from the original two-door model – the most popular British car of all time – through to the diverse range of Minis available today, this book is an exceptionally designed tribute to the marque, and the people who helped create it. Touching on the Mini's impact on pop culture, as well as the racing heritage cultivated by the legendary John Cooper, and filled with stunning imagery and insightful commentary, The Story of Mini charts the history of this beloved brand in a small but perfectly formed package.
Classic Mini
Voted the second most influential car of the 20th century after the Model T Ford in 1999, the original Mini – as Sir Alec Issigonis’ classic design of 1959 inevitably became known – was a car that helped to define an era. In an age when London was swinging, when Carnaby Street and the King’s Road in Chelsea were perceived as the style capital of the world, the Mini was the last word in ‘cool’ motoring. Pictured with the stars of the age, including the designer Mary Quant, the car was to be successful in motor sport and, as one of the last great products of British designed engineering. In production for more than 50 years, by which stage almost 5.4 million of the model in its various guises had been made worldwide, the original Mini was to be supplanted in 2000 by a newer and larger model – the MINI – produced, (following the takeover of Rover Group) by the German company BMW. This is the story of the Mini and MINI in its various guises throughout its fascinating history.
