The Mini, now an emblem of the Swinging Sixties, was in fact the
product of an age of austerity and shortage, a simple design
intended to make motoring more accessible and affordable for the
average family. Ironically, it would become something very
different: a modern, classless style icon that appealed across the
boundaries of social status, age and gender and lent its name to
everything from fashion to furniture. Using illustrations from the
archives of the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, Gillian
Bardsley here tells the Mini's story, from the inspired conception
of designer Alec Issigonis, through the car's shaky infancy and up
to its glorious heyday when it was beloved of film stars, royalty
and the public, as well as having a prominent presence in
motorsport.
