DESCRIPTION:
It's not the size that matters, Austin Powers tells his son as they look over the MINI, "but how you use it." And the diminutive MINI has made it big -- from the beginning. MINI 50 Years follows them all. From the swingin’ star of movies—immortalized in the original film The Italian Job in 1961 and again in the 2003 remake, as well as in The Bourne Identity—to the racing champ and now the 21st-century hipster vehicle of choice, Minis are small, fun, memorable, and cool. Packaged in a clever "under the hood" flap with magnetic clasp (the front flap opens to show the engine), MINI 50 Years captures both the sense of fun and style that have made Mini one of the most popular compacts in the history of the automotive industry. This book tells the full story of the iconic car from its initial launch in the late 1950s through its current super-hip BMW-built incarnation -- right up to the revised version set for release in 2006.

Five Stars IAN M. PATRICK Great Little Book !. Jackie-the-Greyhound said Fun little book for my fan of a certain fun little car!. I bought this for my husband the MINI-fan. I am lucky wife in that his midlife crisis involved a MINI Cooper rather than a Porsche or a blonde (or a blonde in a Porsche). As such, I encourage his love of all things MINI.In any case, with regard to the book, so far both kids and I have been through it, and my poor husband has been reduced to looking at other presents for now. The book is full of history, details, specs, development etc. as well as plenty of pictures. There's also a lot about some concept/special version cars (for example, the picnic version and the XXL. "very nice book" according to K. Teulie. It is a very nice book. It has lots of history and background on the Mini. The pictures are nice too.
