The classic Mini, created by Sir Alec Issigonis, was revolutionary for its time when it was launched in 1959. It was small, economical, easy to drive and infinitely nippy. Only 10 feet long, parking was no problem and it became the cult car of the century, loved - and owned - by celebreties such as Peter Sellers, his wife Britt Ekland, Lulu, Spike Milligan and many others, as well as being the chosen car of drivers everywhere. The Mini proved to be versatile over the years. It has been seen as a saloon, estate car, pick up van, cabriolet and also a very popular rally car. And it is still going strong today.
This is a 1:76 (00) scale model. It comes on a plinth with a clear case lid, the Mini is held to the plinth by screws that can be removed.
