Very few cars inspire as much affection as the original Mini. It's
the small car everyone loves to eulogise because it oozes energetic
fun, classless minimalism and evergreen style. But it's also of
massive historical importance: the 1959 Mini, designed by Alec
Issigonis, set the template from which all successful compact cars
have been created ever since. It was the technological wonder of
its age. The original Mini was on sale for 41 years, during which
its 5.3m sales made it the best-selling British car of all time -
an achievement unlikely ever to be beaten. And just when it looked
like the little car would shrivel and die, BMW had the vision to
reinvent it as the planet's most desirable small car range, and put
it back on the serious motoring map as the MINI. Here,
award-winning writer Giles Chapman tells the whole, amazing story.
