Mini Cooper 1.3i 1:12 by Tamiya

Tamiya is delighted to announce an updated re-release of Item 12031 1/12 Mini Cooper 1.3i (sold until 2016) with updated decals and instruction manual, additional masking stickers and stickers for floor carpet. Making its debut in 1959, the "Mini" featured a front engine, front wheel drive format to secure passenger space within its 2-box styling compact body. This superbly balanced car was tuned by John Cooper of British racing fame, and introduced to the public as the Mini Cooper in 1961, and the Mini Cooper was revived in 1990. It used a 1.3 litre engine, and starting from 1991 it was equipped with a fuel injection system. With its cute styling, pleasing performance and legendary history the Mini Cooper is a true automotive gem.
