Yet another classic car, but this one comes with (drumroll please) a reissue of the British "bobby"!

Cute! The driver looks shady though.

This is definitely my favourite of the cars based on real ones (so far). :)

While I would prefer a colour more like one commonly used on the earlier Classic Minis, this one isn't too bad on a later model like this is meant to be. The Minilite wheels are cool too!

The dashboard doesn't look right to me.

Those mid-sixties vibes are strong with that driver. Almost straight off the set of Blow Up.

Don’t care much for the colour of the car, unfortunately.

This is great, love the car. I’m sure they will issue new colors in the future

This blue color is more in line with the new mini. The overall paint job layout is classic

It’s encouraging as Mini Cooper is owned now by BMW , future licensing models  :crossed:

Is the Asian girlfriend a sly reference to Yoko Ono?   <*)

I expect a Union Jack mini will be the limited edition offering (assuming the VW Limited Editions sold well)

No, It doesn't. I'm guessing this car is based on one of the later versions produced in the 90s. The classic mini dash was near non-existent. My first car was a mini clubman, maybe 1980.
