The Morris Mini Cooper 1275S Mk.I changed small car thinking with its space-saving layout and characterful styling, first turning heads at the 1959 London Motor Show. Measuring just 3.05 metres long and 1.41 metres wide, it proved clever packaging could carry four adults without wasted space.
The front-wheel drive and transverse-engine arrangement freed up cabin room, letting designers devote more of the chassis to passenger comfort. Its Hydrolastic suspension smoothed bumps by balancing pressure between corners, giving a composed ride for such a compact car.
Sir Alec Issigonis blended economy and personality into a tiny package that became an icon. This Tamiya 1/24 scale kit offers a measured build that recreates the Mini Cooper's distinctive details for display or diorama work.
