Tamiya 12031 1991 Rover Mini Cooper 1.3i 1:12 Model Kit

The legendary Rover Mini Cooper 1.3i returns to the Tamiya range in this updated re-release of the classic 1:12 scale model kit. Originally introduced in 1959, the Mini became one of Britain’s most iconic cars thanks to its revolutionary compact design, front-wheel-drive layout, and outstanding handling characteristics.

This version represents the revived 1991 Mini Cooper 1.3i, featuring fuel injection and the unmistakable character that made the Mini a worldwide favourite. Tuned by the legendary John Cooper, the Mini Cooper combined charming styling with sporty performance and motorsport pedigree, cementing its place as a true automotive icon.

Tamiya’s highly detailed large-scale kit accurately captures the distinctive shape and engineering of the Rover Mini Cooper, with an opening bonnet revealing a faithfully reproduced engine bay and suspension system. The detailed interior includes realistic seats, dashboard, door trims, and interior fittings, making this an exceptional display piece for car modellers.

This updated edition also includes new decals, including an additional Union Jack roof option, plus masking stickers for easier window painting and floor carpet stickers for enhanced realism.
