When they weren't proudly being shown off
by The Beatles or hustled to victory in the Monte Carlo Rally, Minis were also
the crowd-pleasing stars of 1960s British saloon-car racing.
Often dwarfed on the grid by bigger and
more powerful machines in this halcyon era of the British Touring Car
Championship, the Mini's famed manouvreabilty nevertheless made it a uniquely
competitive proposition.
From Brands Hatch to Oulton Park
and Silverstone, this crystal-clear, full-colour production brings vibrantly
alive the days when a race-tuned Mini was the underdog supreme.
And some of the charismatic little car's
bigger rivals here are driven by some equally big names; including Jim Clark,
Graham Hill and Bruce McLaren.
