Mini 50 Years

By: Rob Golding .

Its not the size that matters, Austin Powers tells his son as they look over the MINI, "but how you use it." And the diminutive MINI has made it big-from the first.

This book tells the full story of the iconic car from its initial launch in the late 1950s through its current super-hip BMW-built incarnation-right up to the revised version set for release in 2006.

The threads that tie together the original MINI and todays are numerous and fascinating-almost as interesting as the differences that set the two cars apart-and MINI 50 Years follows them all.

From the swingin 60s darling-immortalized in the original The Italian Job in 1961 and again in the 2003 remake-to the racing champ to the twenty-first-century hipster transport, author and mini expert Rob Golding treats readers to every thrill that marks the MINI.
