76MN001 Tartan Red & Union Jack Austin Mini

                                                                                                  1:76 SCALE

The classic Mini, created by Sir Alec Issigonis, was revolutionary for its time when it was launched it 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 too, 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. For the launch of our newly tooled classic Mini model, we've chosen the bright tartan red colour scheme, with a very patriotic Union Jack on the roof and chrome wheels. We've also added lots of chrome detailing on the body, just like the real thing!
