getmejones: Before he found international fame, Bowie (known then as David Jones) worked during the early 1960s on the Mini assembly line for the British Motor Corporation.He reportedly maintained a lifelong affection for the iconic Mini.In addition to acting and his music Bowie is credited with designing ridiculously cool cars.In 1999 London’s Design Museum marked the 40th anniversary of the Mini with a celebrity design contest.Among the entrants was Bowie’s mirror-plated Mini.Time magazine says it is easy to imagine the pop star rolling up to a concert in this, and twisting and contorting to secure his escape.The car turned out to be undriveable, but Bowie had created another thought-provoking and reflective piece of artwork. -- source link
