MINI GOLD PORTFOLIO 1959-1969

The Mini was a triumph of design by Alec Issigonis who produced a thoroughly drivable and likeable economy car. The neat styling immediately gave it more character than any other economy car of the time. Under BMC's badge engineering system the original Morris Mini Minor became an Austin Se7en and with a boot became the Riley Elf and Wolseley Hornet. It always had a strong sales basis. This is a book of contemporary road tests, new model introductions, specification and technical data, long-term tests, competition, history. Models covered include: De Luxe, Austin 850, Estate, Wolseley Hornet, Riley Elf, Mini Cooper, Super De Luxe, Cooper S, Riley Elf Mk II, Viking Hornet Sport, Van, De Luxe Automatic, 1,000, Mk II, Mk III.
