Legendary artist gives MINI a makeover

Tuesday 14th October 2008, 11:00AM BST

The work of legendary artist, illustrator and graphic designer Alan Aldridge is now on show at the Design Museum in London in a visually stunning exhibition of custom designs on the MINI Aldridge Special.

Now working in Los Angeles, Alan was keen to mark the opening of his exhibition by recreating an iconic cover of the Sunday Times Magazine, which in 1965 featured a classic Mini painted in his own, inimitable style.

The updated interpretation of this image, using a new MINI One as the canvas for Alan’s design, featured in the 12 October 2008 edition of the publication, again, warranting front cover status.
