The origonal Mini was too big.
They hadda make the Clubman to get it down to a more reasonable size. :D

I've always loved the old Corgis from the 1960s...

Another classic Corgi Mini from the mid '60's shown here towing a Gama (West Germany) camping trailer from the same period.

The wicker Mini was the nicest of the basic Corgi issues, and that woodie wagon is superb, a childhood favourite of mine along with the police dog van......
The modern castings are more accurate but miss the soul that I feel in the old toys........
