Enormous*Back in 1956, Alec Issigonis was assigned by BMC to develop a
very small, simple and economical car that could carry four adults and
their luggage.It soon became apparent that this new car would be
revolutionary in every aspect - John Cooper being the first to spot its
potential for racing.This lead to some initial success on the track and
set the starting point for an unprecedented story in motorsport with
this small but nimble performer leaving behind a pack of far more
powerful (and puzzled) opponents.It culminated in Paddy Hopkirk's famous
win in the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964 - an event the Mini would dominate
up until 1967 and forever tied the Cooper name with the sporting legend
of the Mini. A minimalistic approach to the red livery of the last Mini
to win Monte Carlo - the gigantic 177 - was the inspiration for this
sock design. * unlike the original Mini did, we can't promise these
socks will make you feel taller.
