This is a comprehensive study of the career of one type of rally
car - the BMC Mini-Cooper/Mini-Cooper S. In the 1960s the Mini
became famous as Britain's most successful rally car. It combined
superb handling, a tiny body shell, high-performance engines and
the excellence of front-wheel-drive in an irresistible package. Not
only this, but the works team included famous drivers like Paddy
Hopkirk, Timo Makinen and Rauno Aaltonen. The works Minis not only
won the Monte Carlo three times - 1964, 1965 and 1967 - along with
the European Rally Championship in 1965, but also won events all
over the world. Because Minis were British, and well-promoted, they
became seen as giant-killers, and were the people's favourite for
many years. The car outpaced many of its rivals, and this book
examines exactly who they were, and how they came to be defeated by
the 'mighty Mini.' Even today, works Minis appear at every
gathering of classic cars - and in 2009, Mini celebrates its 50th
birthday. Packed with over 100 photographs, this book is a fitting
and timely tribute to a much-loved Rally Giant.
