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 model has 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!
