Definitive history of a legend, from inception and development, through its long life, including motorsport.
Britain's mighty atom, the Mini Cooper, has a huge reputation out of all proportion to its size. The Mini was created by the fertile mind of Alec Issigonis and modified by John Cooper to become known as the Mini Cooper in 1961. Giant killing in motorsport, particularly in the Monte Carlo Rally, built the enduring Mini Cooper legend and today the car is back in production and popular around the world. 1994 will, once again, see Paddy Hopkirk campaigning a Mini Cooper in the Monte!
