The Mini appeared in 1959 under the British Motor Corporation. Its compact design provided remarkable interior space for its exterior dimensions.
Sold under the Austin and Morris names, its basic design remained in production for more than four decades.
A sporting chapter began in 1961 with the Mini Cooper, which earned a strong reputation in racing and rallying.
Tamiya depicts the Mini Cooper 1.3i introduced in 1991, powered by a 1,271 cc fuel-injected engine.
This version featured a white roof, bonnet stripes, fog lamps and eight-spoke wheels.
From 2001, a new BMW-era generation carried the Mini’s identity into a new period.
Tamiya is a major Japanese manufacturer of car, motorcycle, aircraft, military vehicle and ship kits, RC models, paints, tools and accessories.
The 1/12 Big Scale range offers much larger car models than the usual 1/24 scale, allowing greater mechanical and interior detail.
With its opening bonnet, visible engine and 25.6 cm length, the Tamiya 12031 Mini Cooper 1.3i is an impressive model for enthusiasts of British cars.
