We read the story of a young designer's idea of a car so radical
that over fifty years later, it would still be part of our lives.
From the car's launch at Earl's Court in 1948 to the passion of
restorer's who are making this classic available for a new
generation, read how this car became woven into the fabric of our
lives. We read how the original design was inspired by pre-war cars
and how the Minor was cut in two and widened. The book covers how
adaptable the car was and shows how the van version of the Minor
became such a workhorse in its day. The book shows us examples of
the adaptations that were made and how it was used in all areas of
society. Modern cars have central control units and have to be
hooked to a computer. This makes DIY repairs virtually impossible.
Cars of the 60's and 70's can be taken apart with a spanner. That
is a huge part of the appeal for the Minor and why it has been so
popular and why it is gaining popularity with young people who are
too young to remember it in its heyday. It can be customised and we
see various examples and some are works of automobile art. This is
a fascinating tale of an iconic motor car.
