MINI collectibles

I received another fine MINI book today (thanks Patrick!). Apparently it will be available on Amazon but I couldn’t wait … and it was worth it – the book is very nicely designed and although it is released for the R56 and talks about the new millenium, it has sections on the original Mini, Alec Issigonis, moving the MINI factory, as well as more recent design & development information … also pics of some of the unique MINI advertising and events around the world, and a great Mini/MINI timeline at the back of the book!

A recommended purchase for any MINI fanatic 🙂

From a NorthAmericanMotoring post I saw a while ago, I had to order this!

Disney pin

Really hard to photograph (at night anyway), hence the picture with and without flash!

Definitely reminiscent of something I’ve seen before 😉 although apparently it’s designed from Australian MINIs (which have the speedometer & tachometer swapped round!) … a nod to the chrono pack too, and a working dial (well, you can move it around).
