More than just a car, the Mini is the most fun-filled and spectacularly successful British car ever built - and now it's back! with a new design for the 21st century. The Mini: the Making of a Modern Icon celebrates 50 momentous years of a British design classic, and looks to the future with a special section on the relaunched Mini.
