ABOUT
The inside story of how the giant-killing Minis of
rallying, rallycross and racing fame were converted from standard
Mini-Coopers in the BMC Competitions Department. The author, who
spent 22 years in `Comps,' reveals the secrets of specification,
build technique and development of the famous Works Minis.
Particularly famous for their great adventures in the Monte Carlo
rally, works Minis humbled many bigger and more powerful cars during
the 1960s and 1970s.
Contributions from `Ginger' Devlin & `Jumping Jeff' Williamson
reveal, in detail, the modifications to the works racing and
rallycross cars respectively.

You don't have to own a Mini, or even have a specific interest in
the Mini, to enjoy this book as it's great reading for any car
enthusiast, and I have to say that I truly enjoyed it Retro Classics

service/repair shop. In 1955 he was drafted in to the Racing
Department. which was the centre for all BMC competition work.
During his time there he was fortunate enough to work on several
rally winning Minis including the 1967 Monte Carlo Rally winner.
Just before the factory closed in 1980 Bryan was offered the
position of manager of a small satellite Morris Garages outlet.

committee of the local Centre in various capacities. After his
retirement he started giving slide shows on MG history and writing
articles for the leading Classic Car magazines, plus three books on
MG and rally connected subjects. Bryan has also worked closely with
the Abingdon Museum setting up MG exhibitions.
