Review
This is one man's declaration of love for the Mini, Britain's best-loved and possibly most famous car, which turned 40 last year. Making countless screen appearances throughout the 1960s and beyond, the mini's design somehow captured the spirit of a decade, making it 'the only loveable car on the road'. But Laban isn't just another enthusiast boring everyone with his obsession. He communicates it with humour and panache, the text both illuminating the history of the little car, as well as infecting the reader with his affection for it. A true celebration of one of British design's most celebrated achievements. (Kirkus UK)
Product Description
This text tells the story of the Mini's development over time and the story of how Mini owners have changed and the uses to which the car has been put. A socio-political examination of the Mini as a statement of class, sex, status and environmental intention, the book is also full of tales of racing, naughty goings-on and the Mini's life in films and music. It includes original and contemporary photography, and features interviews with famous, and infamous people who have known and loved Minis, people such as Sterling Moss, Jamie Blandford, Jeremy Clarkson, Damon Hill, Twiggy, David Bailey, George Harrison and Julie Christie. A history of workers' struggles, rust, wood, neglect decline and of the rebirth of the mini is also given.
