ABOUT:
This is the first book to focus solely on the cars derived
from the classic Mini. Small GTs, sports cars, roadsters and fun
cars: Mini-derivatives made the specialist motoring market roar
in the sixties, but after that they didn’t fade away. The
seventies, eighties, and nineties saw new variants on the car
that simply wouldn’t die – some genius, some crazy, but always
out of the ordinary and colourful. From the well known Mini
Marcos and Unipower GT that even raced at Le Mans, to the very
obscure, but at least as exciting, Coldwell GT or Sarcon Scarab,
almost 60 cars are thoroughly researched, described and
photographed.
Many of the people originally involved with designing and
building them were interviewed, and some cars that were thought
to be long gone were found during the researching of this book.
Others weren’t, but nevertheless made it in as old material came
to light. Of the over 500 pictures in this book, most have never
been seen in print before. Just like the enthusiasm needed to
build the cars described, this book has been written with a true
passion.
Jeroen Booij
After a career as a road test editor for a Dutch motoring
magazine, Jeroen Booij decided to become a freelance motoring
journalist.
He prefers describing the weird and wonderful of the automotive
industry, specialising in classic, specialist, or simply unusual
cars, which has often led to full features on vehicles that are
hardly taken seriously by the regular press. With a passion for
Minis, it was a logical step to write a book about all of the
cars that derived from it, which Jeroen spent nearly five years
researching. He lives in Amsterdam with girlfriend, Annette, and
daughter, Violette.
