Fine condition in a fine dustwrapper.
A fascinating story of British endeavour, ingenuity and masterful marketing. In May 1959, the first Mini was produjced on an assembly line at Cowley, near Oxford. It would take a team of supremely talented designers, draftsmen, engineers and production-line workers to build a car that was unique in appearance and construction. Somehow, the Mini became an icon. Blue boards, white title to spine. Red endpapers. B/w photos and a few colour. xiv and 285 pages including index. ISBN: 9780571248094. A lovely copy!
