Description
The Mini Cooper: A Rally Giant's Story In the 1960s, the Mini Cooper became famous as Britain's most successful rally car. Its combination of superb handling, tiny body shell, high-performance engines, and front-wheel-drive made it an irresistible package. The works team, featuring drivers like Paddy Hopkirk, Timo Makinen, and Rauno Aaltonen, dominated events worldwide. The Mini Cooper's success was not limited to its British heritage; it outpaced many of its rivals, earning a reputation as a giant-killer. This book examines the cars that defeated the 'mighty Mini' and how they came to be so successful. With over 100 photographs, this tribute celebrates the Mini Cooper's 50th birthday in 2009. Packed with detailed information and stunning images, this book is a fitting tribute to a much-loved rally car.
