The classic Mini has been immortalised with LEGO blocks
28 Aug 2014|3,461 views
The classic Mini is now presented in an entirely new format thanks to the LEGO Group, after it has expanded its Creator Expert series to include the original premium small car. A classic Mini will be available as a 1,077-part LEGO set, providing authentic building and driving fun for all fans of the popular LEGO bricks and the iconic small car.
The LEGO designers based their model on the last generation of the classic Mini Cooper built up to the year 2000, recreating its inimitable charisma in the colourful world of their model kits with painstaking attention to detail.
When fully assembled, the car is 250mm long, 140mm wide and 110mm tall - preserving the brand's characteristic proportions.
An unmistakable appearance is ensured with the body finished in British Racing Green, the roof, exterior mirror caps and bonnet stripes in white, the checked pattern on the beige seats and the additional headlamps on the hexagonal radiator grille.
The model's wheels, bumpers, door hinges, headlamps and rear lights fully reflect the design of the original car too. There are also emblems on the rear side body sections to indicate that the LEGO replica is based on the Mini Cooper produced from August 1997 to July 1998 to mark the 40th anniversary of the classic Mini.
The four-cylinder engine is of course transversely mounted with a movable steering wheel, gear lever and among others, the handbrake handle.
