Add to basketOctavo, softbound (slick, full-color photo. illus. stiff wrappers), 291 pp + [iv]. Fine. From Lower Cover: Here for the first time is a short history of the small car from 1885 to 2000 and an examination of what came before, during, but not after the Mini, including the fairly complete story of the Mini and Mini Cooper from 1959 to 2000. James Ruppert is not used to spending very much money on cars, so when he decided to finish the restoration of his 1964 Cooper, started in 1979, the bills started to mount up and mentally he started to fall apart. Bought for 200 and a bottle of wine, it would eventually cost one hundred times that to complete. Serial Mini owner James Ruppert explains how not to buy, run or restore a classic car, and why owning one might be some form of unwellness. He's a man who can't be trusted with an old car, but can be relied upon to explain how the Mini came about and what it was up against throughout the decades. From the author of the critically acclaimed The British Car Industry Our Part in its Downfall and the award winning (Mercedes Benz Montagu of Beaulieu Trophy) The German Car Industry My Part in its Victory, here's why the Mini is the most brilliant car ever built, but how restoring and caring for one can be both stupid and stupidly expensive.
