Original Mini Cooper and Cooper S - The Restorer's Guide to 997 and 998 Cooper and 970, 1071 and 1275 Cooper S

The aim of this book is to reveal, in words and colour photographs, how all Mini Cooper and Cooper S models - from early 997cc Mkl to late 1275cc Mklll - altered in detail through the course of production.
Although one Mini Cooper may look much like another to the untrained eye, an amazing number of specification changes, major and minor, occurred over the years.

Drawing from factory production records, parts lists and catalogues, as well as the accumulated knowledge of respected restorers and dedicated enthusiasts, this book provides the most comprehensive survey of the Mini Cooper ever published.
Exhaustive research by the author, John Parnell, has resulted in this important book containing a wealth of new information.

Accompanying the authoritative text are over 200 specially commissioned colour photographs showing every permutation of Mini Cooper specification in remarkable detail. Painstaking selection of cars of the highest quality and authenticity ensures that the photographs in this book provide a valuable reference source.

As well as covering export versions of the UK-built cars, the text explores the minutiae of cars built under licence outside the UK. The Innocenti Coopers are described in detail, and the Spanish-built Authis and Australian Coopers have not been forgotten. In addition, a chapter about the later Rover Coopers completes the story.

Mini Cooper- 1961-2000

From its launch on 20 September 1961 the Mini Cooper caused a sensation. The world's first sports saloon, the diminutive Cooper combined the glamour and racing heritage of 1959 and 1960 Formula 1 champions the Cooper Car Company with the outstanding handling and downright practicability of the Austin Mini Seven and Morris Mini Minor. Alec Issigonis's little people's car had been launched by the manufacturer, the British Motor Corporation (BMC), two years earlier.

A winner almost from the word go, the Mini Cooper not only ruled the racetracks and rally stages of the early and mid-1960s but proved to be a practical and fun sporting family saloon car. After over 100,000 examples were sold between 1961 and 1971, the Mini Cooper is still a practical sporting saloon in the guise of the BMW-owned Mini Cooper sixty years after the introduction of the original model. This remarkable product of the United Kingdom merits a fresh examination as it nears its sixtieth birthday.

Based upon over fifty face-to-face interviews carried out by the author over more than a decade, this book quotes the Mini Cooper's designers, developers, and professional race and rally drivers plus a host of contemporary owners.
