The Morris Mini Cooper became a standout example of compact car innovation. Debuting in 1959, the Mini used a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout that freed up interior space while keeping the overall dimensions compact enough to comfortably seat four adults.
John Cooper's modifications transformed the Mini into a serious competitor on track, with engine developments progressing to the noted 1275cc unit favoured by many racers. Works Minis scored heavily in the 1960s across saloon car series and touring car events throughout Europe.
This Tamiya kit recreates the Morris Mini Cooper Racing at 1/24 scale with fidelity to the original lines and race detailing, making it a good choice for those who display historical racing models.
