I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to purchase a classic Mini. It includes much needed info such as vin numbers, details and photos. I own a classic car dealership and use this book often for doing research.

I have a modern Mini but my interest has always been in the Classic Mini. I belong to club that started as a Classic Mini club. These guys know their cars but this book is an invaluable resource. I am able to surprise these guys from the knowledge I get from this book. I bought it when I was in London and read it cover to cover on the flight back to the U.S. Of all the Mini books I own, I use this one in my quest to purchase a Classic Mini. This is the book I recommend to others who are interested in one or want to know more about the Classic Mini.

I was deeply confused when a Mini wasn't a Mini at first. People always knew the Mini Cooper, but not the Austin Se7en and the Morris Minor and those vehicles didn't start out as small little cars. After reading the book, you can definately get confused with all the cars and names. In the end tho,you can tell each model apart. For those who wants to get a Mini, don't hesitate to grab one of these books because many sellers would mismatch parts thru different years. Another book to get is The Cars of BMC which is discontinued but worth every penny. Also, another book is John Parnell's Orginal Mini Cooper and Cooper S.
