On 26 August 1959 a revolutionary small car rolled off the assembly
line, and almost overnight became a cult. Sir Alec Issigonis's Mini
was both innovative and unconventional - making it the perfect
embodiment of the Swinging Sixties. Today the MINI has become a
hugely popular symbol, and a worldwide ambassador for
individuality, vitality and Britishness. This lavishly produced
book tells the fascinating story of the brand's success from the
first classic Mini to today's modern, cutting-edge concept cars.
Technological developments and automotive concepts, design features
and cheeky customized creations are discussed in detail, alongside
the story of the MINI's role in advertising, films and art, and the
birth of the cult of the Mini in the 1960s. Rare vintage
advertising posters, original design sketches and Erik Chmil's
elegant photographs showcasing 23 MINI models make this book a
visual feast and a collector's item for the MINI aficionado.
