The Mini’s long production life saw many model changes, and literally thousands of component changes, making choosing and assessing the correct part for a classic Mini very difficult.
This book is the result of years of research, and comprises over 1800 photos showing these component variations, with captions explaining which Mini model and date each was originally designed for. With no German parts listed, this book is an essential volume for all restorers of classic Minis looking for true authenticity, and an invaluable reference source for owners who value original parts.
The author is Mark Huthert, a seasoned motor mechanic with a passion for parts. In 1975, his father bought him an accident-damaged Austin Seven 850. A year later, when just 15 years old, he built his first modified 850cc engine. This led to four years of grasstrack racing with three different Minis.
With the experience and knowledge picked up from working on his own Austins, and his stint in racing, he took his skills into the auto parts and repair industry, working for a number of garages specialising in different marques.
