MINI COOPER BY GRAHAM ROBSON PAPERBACK - PUBLISHED AUG 2009 - Price: $32.95

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

By Graham Robson

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 peoples favorite 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.

MINI: THE DEFINITIVE HISTORY (HARDCOVER) BY JOHN PRESSNELL - Price: $57.95

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT

The legendary Mini is one of the world's most-loved cars. Mini - The Definitive History tells the full story behind this extraordinary little vehicle, based on the memories of those who were there at the time. Illustrated with more than 500 photos, sourced from all over the world, many never seen before, this beautifully produced book is essential reading for every Mini enthusiast.

The Mini was the car that changed the face of motoring. Establishing front-wheel drive as the norm, its cheeky charm, superb roadholding and unparalleled space-efficiency made it a legend around the world - and a giant-killing race and rally winner.

Mini - The Definitive History tells, for the first time, the full story behind this extraordinary little car. Based on nearly a hundred interviews and written by an acknowledged expert, Mini - The Definitive History is crammed with first-hand testimony from the people who designed and developed the Mini - and kept it in production for more than four decades.

Sometimes controversial, sometimes provocative, this is the history of the Mini as it was really lived - by the people there at the time. Along the way the author explodes many a myth, in what is the most authentic and complete account of the Mini's life ever published.

Detailed chapters deal with the Mini-Cooper, the Moke, and the weird and wonderful experimental Minis created over the years. The Mini was not just a British phenomenon, and extensive space is devoted to the cars that were made in Australia, Italy, South Africa and sundry other countries around the world. Finally, a major chapter examines the question of whether the Mini ever made any money for the companies that built it.

Mini - The Definitive History is the one book all Mini enthusiasts should have on their shelves.
