Tamiya 24235 - 1/24 Austin Mini Cooper 1275S Mk.I Model Kit Period Mini Replica  [24235]

Authentic miniature of the Austin Mini Cooper 1275S Mk.I

Tamiya's model reproduces the Austin Mini Cooper 1275S Mk.I in 1/24 scale, emphasising the practical layout and compact stance of the historic design. The kit mirrors the Mini's characteristic body shape, independent suspension and small wheel diameter that made it distinct.

Notable competition history

Introduced in the 1960s, the Mini Cooper 1275S Mk.I carried a 1275cc engine and became a formidable competitor on rallies such as Monte Carlo, claiming several notable wins. This model kit gives builders a way to represent that storied era in miniature form.

Features included and finishing notes

Chrome-plated parts are supplied for the grille and exterior trim, while a detailed 4-cylinder engine is modelled beneath a moveable bonnet. Metal transfer emblems reproduce the original badges, and the completed model measures approximately 129mm long by 58mm wide for tidy display placement.
