The Mini is a small two-door four-seat city car produced from 1959 to 2000. Designed by Sir Alec Issigonis and John Sheppard and marketed under a variety of names, the car was a success and influenced a variety of automakers. Attempts were made to replace the Mini with other cars although the Mini would usually outlast their replacements. 5,387,862 were produced.

Gold bars can be seen in the trunk, referencing the gold heist in the 1969 film The Italian Job.

This is a 1963 Mini Cooper S. Designed by Sir Alec Issigonis and John Sheppard, the Cooper was a high-performance version of the Mini hatchback introduced in 1963.

The Cooper was created as a collaboration between John Cooper, owner of the Cooper Car Company and builder of Formula One cars, and Issigonis; Cooper saw the potential of the Mini in motorsport and appealed to the British Motor Corporation to convince an initially reluctant Issigonis to see the project through. The Cooper, branded as an Austin and Morris, debuted in September 1961.

The Cooper used a race-tuned 1.0L A-Series inline-4 producing 55 hp, mated to a close ratio 4-speed manual. The car featured front disc brakes, uncommon at the time for a small car; 1,000 were commissioned by BMC management to homologate the car for Group 2 rallying. The car's engine would be slightly revised to a shorter stroke unit in 1964. At launch the Cooper was priced at £680.

Also developed in tandem with the Cooper was a further enhanced version known as the Cooper S, introduced in March 1963. This version was fitted with a race-tuned 1.1L A-Series inline-4 producing 70 hp and larger servo-assisted disc brakes. Two additional models with a 1.0L and 1.3L engine, intended for different classes in road racing, were also manufacturing; the 1.0L version was not well received and quickly discontinued. From 1966 Cooper Ss were fitted with twin fuel tanks as standard.

A force in international motorsport, Coopers competed in rallying and other categories such as road racing. Notable victories include the 1964, 1965 and 1967 Monte Carlo Rallies, 5 British Saloon Car Championships and three Macau Grands Prix among others. Production ended in 1971; 25,636 were produced.

Now this casting was designed by Fraser Campbell and introduced in 2026. This is currently its only release.

This is a Mini. Designed by Sir Alec Issigonis and John Sheppard, the Mini is a two-door four-seat car produced by the British Motor Corporation and its various successors from 1959 to 2000 in various forms and under various names. Designed by Sir Issigonis, the Mini was first demonstrated to the press in April 1959 and was ready for demonstration by August. The car was marketed as an Austin and a Morris until 1969 when it became known as simply the Mini. Engine choices were all part of the Rover A-series line, ranging from 0.9L to 1.3L. After some seven different generations and numerous different body styles the Mini was discontinued in 2000. 5,387,862 were produced; the rights to the Mini name are currently held by BMW, which currently produces the Mini Hatch, a small hatchback with a resemblance to the classic Mini.

Now this casting was designed by Phil Riehlman and introduced in 2000 as a New Model. With fifty known releases, this casting remains a fan favorite and will likely remain so for years to come. The casting was retooled in 2015 to have a plastic base and riveting the body to the base.
