How do you make an object that changes the way people think about travel, a small metal box that inspires huge devotion in those who own it, a car that continues to make headlines fifty years after its launch? In May 1959, the first Mini was produced on an assembly line at Cowley, near Oxford. It would take a team of supremely talented designers, draftsmen, engineers & production-line workers to build a car that was unique in appearance & construction. They would clash frequently over an uncomfortable & unsafe prototype, & the public had to be convinced to buy a car that let in two inches of water when it rained. But somehow the Mini became an icon. Originally designed for austerity & efficiency, the car soon came to represent individuality & classlessness. Today, the car is still produced at Cowley
- it is now owned by BMW & called the MINI. A great British manufacturing story, it is more popular throughout the world than it has ever been, a symbol of the age that created it. But who makes these things, & what do they think about their work? By meeting the people behind the MINI, Simon Garfield uncovers a fascinating story of British endeavour, ingenuity & masterful marketing. The modern MINI has come a long way from the leaky floor & sliding windows. But throughout its history, the people behind it have always known that they have been making something rare
- a car with soul.
