The old Mini brings back so many memories.

Thanks for that great pic SS!

I really like the scale and wheel size on the old version. Wish we could get smaller wheels on the new mini, but I doubt how it might look with those wheel wells.

Funny how Lesney could get wheel size right 40 years ago, but Mattel?..not a chance!
It's a cryin' shame...the rest of the casting looks great.
Thanks for the pic!

Great pic - the Lesney Mini seems much more true to scale than its new replacement. Thanks for the comparison...

In darker red with orange label border.

I really like the old casting.

Nice pictures.

I like Minis , but I think that the old casting is better.

Matchbox is working on a smaller wheel to make this model look better

Yes, with the introduction of smaller retro wheels, the new mini should look good. Any idea if we would be seeing it in 2010, chevyman? I really wish.

Yes as a new wheel is out now on some of the Second batch of 2009 Superfast cars out now in T R U....................
