Mini Cooper 1275S Mk.I Classic Proportions

The Morris Mini Cooper 1275S Mk.I made a lasting impression after its 1959 introduction, showing how compact packaging could deliver usable space. At 3.05 metres long and 1.41 metres wide the design cleverly prioritised passenger room without adding bulk.

Adopting a transverse-mounted engine with front-wheel drive allowed engineers to devote more of the chassis to occupants, while the Hydrolastic suspension smoothed ride quality across all four wheels, elevating comfort for a small car.

Sir Alec Issigonis created a vehicle that balanced economy and personality, earning enduring affection. The Tamiya 1/24 kit faithfully models the Mini Cooper's detail lines and is suited to careful assembly and display finishing.

Does the kit include decals and clear parts for lights?

Yes, the kit supplies clear lenses and a decal sheet for badges and instrument faces, though paint is needed to match the original livery.

What finishing touches improve authenticity?

Fine panel lining, correct wheel paint, and period-correct trim colours lift the realism; consider light weathering if you want a used look.
