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

Scale reproduction of a classic British mini

The Austin Mini Cooper 1275S Mk.I has been faithfully recreated by Tamiya in a 1/24 scale model kit that highlights the compact, clever layout of the original. The model echoes the Mini's compact two-box design, independent suspension and characteristic 10-inch wheels while giving modellers a tidy, accurate build.

Racing pedigree and period wins

The 1275S Mk.I was the highpoint of the Cooper programme in the 1960s and Tamiya's kit reflects that motorsport heritage. With a 1275cc engine in the original cars, the Mini competed strongly in events like the Monte Carlo Rally and earned notable victories that cemented its reputation.

Kit details and assembly notes

This Tamiya kit includes chrome-plated parts for the grille and trim, and a detailed 4-cylinder engine visible under a hinged bonnet for display. Metal transfer emblems recreate front and rear badges, and the finished model measures about 129mm long and 58mm wide, making it a neat display piece for shelves or dioramas.
