This book, now available in paperback, takes a sideways look at the world of Minis by featuring 30 of the world's most extreme and unusual Mini-based cars. Coverage ranges from Belgian extrovert 'Mad Frank's' twin big-block V8-engined example to bike-engined Minis, including along the way an ice-racing car, a rear-engined Honda Vtec-powered example, a stretch limo, a hearse and a three-wheeler. The humorous text provides a description of each car, technical specs and a brief explanation of how each car was built, along with a profile of the owner/builder.
Iain Ayre is well known on the kit-car scene and in Mini circles, and is North American correspondent for the UK's MiniWorld magazine. He lives near Vancouver, Canada.
Oddball Minis: Mini-based fire engine, Mini-based bus (for carrying children), stretched Mini limo, three-wheeler. Different bodies: convertibles, 'woody', pick-up, off-roader.
