Mini by Mark Paxton
The Mini is without doubt a motoring milestone, and has had many volumes dedicated to its design, history and development, but this is the only book to examine the tricky task of buying one used. Iconic and innovative it may have been, but this quintessentially British car was not without its defects, many of which could turn the Mini experience into an expensive and tiresome disaster. This guide takes the potential purchaser through a short initial examination to weed out the obviously defective, followed by a more comprehensive step-by-step look at the body and mechanical parts, where the clear, jargon-free text accompanied by over 100 photographs sheds light on even the darkest corners of the Mini's construction. A unique points marking system ensures that nothing is overlooked and an accurate final picture of the car's condition can be viewed in relation to the asking price.-

The New Mini
"The content is informative, yet easy to read and there's plenty of colour picturesI'd advise anyone seriously considering buying a Mini to get hold of a copy of this book first." - Tiscali.co.uk "... an excellent overview of what you need to know when purchasing a Mini, especially if you're a first timer." - Mini Magazine "This handy pocket-sized book is worth every penny of its cover price. Well written in a concise and easy to follow manner, anyone contemplating buying a Mini should take this book as a standard reference item." - Mini Cooper Register
With a Mini being a permanent feature in the family for over 20 years, not to mention the dozens that passed through the doors of his garage during that time, the author has experienced the highs and lows of owning, repairing and restoring these iconic little cars. A move away from the motor trade and into classic car and motorcycle journalism has allowed him to put some of that experience on paper in magazine articles and two previous books.
