The latest Mini to be re-issued by the Corgi Model Club.

"Launched into the range in 1968, this 1:41 scale Mini Cooper was a very welcome new Mini casting, finally given features in line with other late-60s Corgi Toys. Chief among them were opening doors, bonnet and boot, plus a detailed cream interior with tipping seats. The exterior had chrome trims, jewelled headlights and a detailed engine.
However, what most remember about this detailed Corgi is its colourful striped sliding sun roof! Available in two metallic colours – blue or green – Corgi 334 was in the range for just two years, disappointingly low sales making it one of the scarcer Corgi Minis today.The casting was later revived as a ‘Whizzwheels’ BMC Mini Cooper (Corgi 282) which was available between 1971 and 1974."

334 - BMC Mini Magnifique £37.99
