Mini Cooper 1961-2000
BMIHT Reference Number:
Code: A153465
When Alec Issigonis put pencil to paper to design the Mini, little did he realise that he was about to revolutionise the entire motor industry. Since its launch in 1959 his concept of transverse engine with integral gearbox driving to the front wheels has become the industry standard, thoroughly proven on family cars and – in the guise of the Mini-Cooper - in all sectors of motor sport.
‘Mini-Cooper’ is an extended verson of the popular ‘Mini-Cooper video’ specially remastered for DVD. Celebrating the ‘Car of the Century’, it explores the Cooper’s origins and pedigree through the eyes of the man who gave the car its name, John Cooper; the engineer who described himself as ‘the perspiration behind the inspiration’, Jack Daniels; the driving legend who took the first Monte Carlo victory, Paddy Hopkirk; and the two men who turned the BMC Competitions Departmentinto a professional winning machine, Marcus Chambers and Stuart Turner. Works film of secret testing sessions, which for many years was classified, reveals the secrets which earned the Mini-Cooper its giant-killing reputation, and shows experts such as Hopkirk and John Love putting the Cooper through its paces. Add in the largest collection of original BMC archive footage ever assembled on the subject and you have this remarkable DVD.

Canvas sizes and costs
How are the Canvases Printed?
Using the latest printing technology featuring a 12 colour printing process producing exceptional, vibrant results, our canvases are printed using pigment inks on a high quality UK manufactured 360 gsm poly-cotton canvas.
We use a very smooth surface canvas in order to maintain as much image detail as possible. To ensure the ultimate protection and long life of the canvases all canvases are sealed using our Heatseal Lamination process. This provides protection against fading from UV light together with a scratch proof, water resistant surface, without losing the canvas look.
How are they Framed?
After sealing which ensure the edges of the canvas will not crack when stretched around the stretcher bar. They are hand finished by stretching the canvas over a 32 mm stretcher bar under high tension.
The edges/sides of the canvas between the image and the back of the frame, is white. White edge canvases are standard, while full bleed canvases are subject to a 10% charge depending on the size of the order. Contact us offline for more details and pricing.
How long will a canvas take to complete?
Orders will be despatched within 6 working days.
