Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No car has had such a profound impact on the motoring scene as the original Mini. Designed in response to petrol shortages in the late 1950s, it was introduced in 1959 in both Austin and Morris guises, with either basic or De Luxe trim levels. Success came swiftly, and before long its makers at BMC were introducing van, pick-up and estate versions, high-performance Mini Coopers, and higher equipment levels on the Mini Super. Right through the 1960s, the success story continued, and the original formula proved so right that the updated Mk II models of 1967 were instantly recognisable as versions of the original and much-loved car. These early Minis are as much admired and sought-after today as ever, offering their own unique blend of nimble driving pleasure with readily affordable running costs. They are also increasingly the subject of detailed, part-number-perfect restorations, and this book is designed to help all those who aim to restore one of these early British-built Minis to their correct specification. Within these pages, respected classic car historian James Taylor gives each major model of Mini its own section. These sections provide full details of specifications and examine individual areas of each model in depth. They are backed up by colour photography of outstanding examples that illustrate the way these cars looked when they were new. Body panels, external trim and badging, paint colours, interior trim, dashboard, instruments and controls, under-bonnet components, engine and transmission, lights -- all this and more is comprehensively covered for both Mk I and Mk II Minis. For rapid reference to vital information, this formula has proved to be the most useful one for restorers. With more than 300 specially commissioned colour photographs, Factory-Original Mini will delight and enthral the restorer and the more casual Mini enthusiast alike.

Book excerpt: Voted the second most influential car of the 20th century after the Model T Ford in 1999, the original Mini – as Sir Alec Issigonis’ classic design of 1959 inevitably became known – was a car that helped to define an era. In an age when London was swinging, when Carnaby Street and the King’s Road in Chelsea were perceived as the style capital of the world, the Mini was the last word in ‘cool’ motoring. Pictured with the stars of the age, including the designer Mary Quant, the car was to be successful in motor sport and, as one of the last great products of British designed engineering. In production for more than 50 years, by which stage almost 5.4 million of the model in its various guises had been made worldwide, the original Mini was to be supplanted in 2000 by a newer and larger model – the MINI – produced, (following the takeover of Rover Group) by the German company BMW. This is the story of the Mini and MINI in its various guises throughout its fascinating history.

Download or read book Mini written by Gillian Bardsley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-10 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
