Maximum Mini 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 1960s. In the decades since the ‘60s, we saw new variants on the car that simply wouldn’t die; some genius, some crazy, but always colorful and out of the ordinary. Maximum Mini takes a deep dive into almost 60 different Minis. You’ll get specs, facts, tons of high-quality photographs, and more on vehicles like Mini Marcos and Unipower GT, the very obscure, and very exciting, Coldwell GT and Sarcon Scarab, and loads more. Maximum Mini goes directly to the source with its information; much of it coming directly from interviews with original designers and build teams. Some cars that were thought to be long gone were even found during the researching of this book!

Very few cars inspire as much affection as the original Mini. It’s the small car everyone loves to eulogise because it oozes energetic fun, classless minimalism and evergreen style.But it’s also of massive historical importance: the 1959 Mini, designed by Alec Issigonis, set the template from which all successful compact cars have been created ever after. It was the technological wonder of its age. The original Mini was on sale for 41 years, during which its 5.3m sales made it the best-selling British car of all time – an achievement unlikely ever to be beaten.And just when it looked like the little car would shrivel and die, BMW had the vision to reinvent it as the planet’s most desirable small car range, and put it back on the serious motoring map as the MINI.Here, award-winning writer Giles Chapman tells the whole, amazing story.
