Book excerpt: Mini celebrates 60 amazing years of this iconic car, from its revolutionary introduction to the popularity of its new-generation models. The first two-door Mini, introduced in 1959 and built until 2000, revolutionized automotive design with its innovative front-wheel-drive layout that made the car appear bigger on the inside than the outside. In 1999, the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century, behind the Ford Model T. Designed for British Motor Corporation (BMC) by Sir Alec Issigonis and manufactured in England, Australia, Spain, Belgium, Chile, Italy, Portugal, South Africa, Uruguay, Venezuela, and Yugoslavia, the Mini was as successful in competition as it was on the street, winning the Monte Carlo Rally four times from 1964 through 1967. Originally built by BMC, the Mini’s later parent company, Rover, was acquired by BMW in 1994. In 2000, BMW sold most of the Rover Group but retained the Mini brand. The last and 5,387,862nd original Mini rolled off the production line in October 2000. In July 2001, BMW launched production of the new-generation of Mini which was soon joined by Countryman, Clubman, convertible, Cooper Works, and numerous special editions. Nearly 20 years later, the new Minis remain as popular as the original from 1959.

Book excerpt: More than just a car, the Mini is the most fun-filled and spectacularly successful British car ever built- and now it's back with a new design for the 21st century. 'The Mini: the Making of a Modern Icon' celebrates 50 momentous years of a British design classic, and looks to the future with a special section on the relaunched Mini. 'The Mini' tells the complete story of this most legendary of cars: the unlikely genius who designed it; the Goon who first made it popular; the Lords and Ladies, call-girls and rock stars, swingers and hippies who drove it - at the same time taking a revealing look at Britain's last half century. Not surprisingly, the car that set London swinging and at the same time wowed the rally driving circuit, attracted a legion of famous fans from the entertainment and motor racing worlds - and the book features numerous original photographs and interviews with people such as Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Sterling Moss, Jamie Blandford, Jeremy Clarkson, Damon Hill, Britt Ekland, Twiggy, John Lennon and Paul McCartney. But behind the glitz and glamour of the Mini as an icon was the struggle to make money and a sad decline that exemplified the British motor industry. The book examines the troubled history of the company that made it, the struggles between workers and management, and their role in the decline of the original Mini - and now the miraculous rebirth of an all-new Mini.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alpine was really the only sports car volume manufacturer in France until the seventies, but inspite of this and the outstanding competition history of the company, the history of Alpine is seldom treated seriously outside France. In 1946 Jean Redele took charge of his father's Renault agency in Dieppe which gave him the opportunity to take up serious racing and rallying and in 1952 won the Sport 750 class of the Mille Miglia. In July 1955 he presented his first Alpine built on the floorpan of the Renault 4CV followed by the A108 Cabriolet, and the Berlinette variant in 1960. In 1973 Renault took a majority holding in Alpine but kept Alpine as a separate trading identity. Also in 1973 Alpine won the inaugural World Rally Championship with the A110 Berlinette during which they were placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd in the Monte Carlo Rally. In 1995 the decision was taken by Renault to end Alpine production after 40 years.

Download or read book Alpine Renault A310 written by Frédérick Lhospied and published by Editions Techniques pour l'Automobile et l'Industrie. This book was released on 1999 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sa ligne était superbe, sa tenue de route exemplaire, son confort exceptionnel, le freinage au-dessus de la moyenne... alors ? Le moteur ! Il s'agissait toujours, bien entendu, du quatre cylindres Renault déjà installé sous la A 110 1600 S, qui présentait quand même quelques avantages : consommation plutôt peu élevée, réelle fiabilité, performances appréciables. Toute voiture résulte d'une somme d'éléments qui aboutissent à un compromis complexe devant répondre à un marché, à une demande. Mais il arrive que ce résultat ne corresponde pas, ou peu, aux attentes de la clientèle, qui d'ailleurs ne sait pas elle même précisément en quoi ses espoirs sont déçus. Ce fut, hélas, le destin de la A 310 quatre cylindres. Puis vint la V6, dont l'histoire n'est pas très éloignée de celle de la quatre cylindres. Ligne également superbe, confort exceptionnel, remarquable silence de fonctionnement, freinage impeccable, mais tenue de route moins exemplaire... alors ? Le moteur ! Superbe machine à rouler, la A 310 est aujourd'hui considérée pour ce qu'elle est, pas pour ce qu'elle aurait pu ou dû être. Chaque version a ses admirateurs et, avec le temps les petits défauts de l'une ou de l'autre se sont estompés, et seul demeure le plaisir de rouler dans cette voiture de grand tourisme, longtemps unique dans la production française. Très agréable à bien des égards, elle aurait mérité une meilleure diffusion tant ses qualités, redécouvertes aujourd'hui, étaient bien réelles. De la genèse à la fin de la commercialisation en passant par les relevés des performances, les chiffres de production, la fabrication, la compétition, les prototypes et même le vénérable moteur PRV, le lecteur trouvera tout sur la A 310. Aucun livre, jusque-là, n'avait été consacré à l'A 310, excellente voiture et véritable Alpine : ce manque est aujourd'hui comblé.
