Classic Mk.II Mini Cooper S Recreated in Scale

The Tamiya 58400 Mini Cooper S 2006 captures the character of the Mk.II MINI in a faithful 1/10 interpretation. The kit emphasises the car's compact proportions and period cues for a convincing miniature representation.

Authentic M03L Chassis Design

The M03L layout reproduces the front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration to deliver handling that feels true to the prototype. The resin monocoque is strong yet straightforward to assemble, and the independent double wishbone suspension contributes to nimble, controllable cornering.

Faithful Exterior Detail

The polycarbonate shell mirrors the 2006 changes such as the bonnet scoop and small rear wing, with separate mirror components for an accurate finish. Sporty wheels and synthetic rubber radial tyres round out the model's authentic appearance.

Assembly Notes and Recommended Gear

You'll need a 2-channel radio, an electronic speed controller and a 6-cell flat battery to run the car. The build offers scope for painting, trimming and suspension setup, which makes it engaging for both collectors and active hobbyists.
