BMC Mini Magnifique Green Edition (334)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

The look was completed by silver plated bumpers and a radiator capped with Bentley’s iconic ‘Flying B’ mascot – simplified somewhat due to the model’s 1:50 scale
