Detailed 1/24 scale Mini Cooper recreation

Tamiya's 1/24 scale Austin Mini Cooper 1275S Mk.I captures the charm of the original car with accurate proportions and period features. The miniature reflects the Mini's clever interior packaging, compact two-box silhouette and small diameter wheels that define its look.

Classic competition background

The 1275S Mk.I represented the pinnacle of the Mini Cooper's competition era, powered by a 1275cc engine and taking part in notable rally events like Monte Carlo. The kit allows hobbyists to recreate a piece of that racing history at display scale.

Kit contents and presentation advice

The model comes with chrome-plated parts for the front grill and trim, a detailed 4-cylinder engine under a liftable bonnet, and metal transfer emblems that mimic original badges. Finished dimensions are approximately 129mm in length and 58mm in width, making it an ideal shelf model.
