A very scarce version! This Mini-Cooper is an earlier type with the white bonnet (as well as roof) but, unlike all the others I have found with a white bonnet, this has free spinning wheels. I had not included this in my list of possible models to collect in this fascinating series so now need to update that!

This example is one of two currently in stock and the better of the two, with only small chips to the roof but most panels are good. It is all original and the windows are clean and not cracked. The flags and jewels are original and present and the suspension is firm. This has a lemon interior. I really don't know whether one exists with a red interior.

It looks very good, as can be seen in the photos and is certainly amongst the most hard-to-find models.
