The secret history of the Mini

Author Simon Garfield spoke extensively with key personnel throughout the development of the Mini, and for the first time has compiled a no holes barred history of this great car from the men and women directly involved in its creation. There are more twists and turns than found at a rally race meet, as the Mini tale is told.

It had more than its share of problems, and how it went on to be such a successful car even astounds some of its builders. With access to Mini archives and some original photography, this is a very enjoyable and informative read.
