Thanks for the MINI Memories
A brand new Mini book is now available chronicling the history of Mini in South Africa.
>Have you ever heard of the Mini Mk3 with a boot, or the Safari, Sunshine and Moonlight special editions of the Mini? Interested? Then this book might just be for you!
>Fresh from the publishers, this excellent 255 page hard-cover book tells the story of the Mini in South Africa. It’s all there, the entire production history, from the very first locally assembled Austin 850 in 1959 to the very last Mini to roll out of the plant in 1983. If that were not enough, there’s plenty of unique South African motorsport to whet the reader’s interest.
For those of you that are keen on all things about the Mini history, it may be worth checking out.

Lottsa interesting variations in SA, and other far-flung places the Mini wandered. Every once in a while, you run across one at a meet, and it’s envy time.
I wonder why the spacing is so far off between the words “The” and “Mini”?
Yes they even churned out Minis with Riley Elf fronts -all soughts of derivatives. But then it was politically incorrect for British companies to trade with SA during the Aparteid years. BMW was an exception along with VW who built plants there.
