Sir Alec Issigonis's classic Mini design took the motoring world by storm when it was launched in 1959 and the car became the face of Swinging London in the 1960s. This is the complete illustrated history of the Mini and all its variants from the original Morris Mini Minor of 1959 to the launch of the new BMW Mini in 2000. ICONS OF STYLE is a brand new series of compact illustrated books which celebrate the most iconic car designs of the 20th century. Each book focuses on a different classic car, or car marque and documents its concept and development, launch and production, its variants and derivatives. The photographs are a mix of archive and factory shots, images from advertising and brochures, and location portraits, all of which exemplify the iconic style of the era.
