No other British car has ever equalled the cult status of the Mini Cooper and the Cooper S models. They established a fanatical following as the hot hatchback from 1961 to 1971 thanks to their unique combination of performance, practicality, charm and competition pedigree. This book, as all books in the Original Series, is the essential companion to restorers of these exciting automobiles. Beautiful color photos, as well as detailed specifications and production changes, provide the information that every restorer and enthusiast desire. Color throughout.'

5.0 out of 5 stars
*WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD!!*,
By Jonnie M. (Nor Cal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Original Mini Cooper and Cooper S (Original Series) (Paperback)
John Parnell's precise first-hand research + Paul Debois' great close-up photography yield an absolutely indispensible reference book for the serious Mini Cooper buyer + restorer.With 120 pages featuring over 200 specially commissioned color photos that target specific distinctions between models + international variations, this book will reveal the true history of any car claiming to be an authentic Cooper or S. All those fake Coopers would undermine the value of real ones without this guide to distinguish between them. Once you own a real Cooper, this book will point out which details are original + which details have been modified over the life of the car. That information should prove invaluable for winning concours events. THREE CHEERS FOR PARNELL, DEBOIS + THEIR PUBLISHERS!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Very thorough book,

This review is from: Original Mini Cooper and Cooper S (Original Series) (Paperback)
Very well written and thorough book, but few pictures of the MKIII Cooper S.
As I bought it prior to restoration of a MKIII, it was a little dissapointing, but else, thumbs up!
