Whether it's about the classic, original Mini or the new generation MINI from BMW, this is the story of an extraordinary motoring icon celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2009. A car that was conceived as the answer to a crisis but which became one of the best known, best loved and biggest selling small cars in motoring history. It is the story of a car that was designed for the masses but became a must-have fashion statement for the rich and famous. The Little Book of Mini is an inspirational story of a car that has been re-invented for a new millennium and for such a small car, it is one of the greatest motoring stories of them all.
