Going to keep my eyes peeled for this one :cool:

I was bought this book for my birthday earlier this month, a really good book.

Loved reading about the day Rover was split between the Pheonix chaps, Ford and BMW, and how the tooling at Longbridge and Cowley was all swapped over :D

A really good read, nicely presented too :D

I liked reading you copy too:D

Must get this myself or maybe ask for it as a birthday present

I have the version he did for the 30th anniversary....must get the update though:cool:

It's worth it, good coverage of the Rover/BMW/MINI split/move and all that followed.

picked this up a few months back was great

cool - gonna keep an eye out for that.
i got this book : which i guess is kinda the same thing ? Amazon.co.uk: New Mini: Books: Graham Robson

Not the same thing really.

just ordered a copy on amazon...:D

Really enjoyed mine and I learnt a lot from it :) It came free with a subscription to Modern MINI! :D:D

Frank Stephenson seemed to be little more than a footnote in the "Gert Hildebrand" chapter :confused:
