This diecast model Austin Mini Cooper S - The Italian Job (1969) (The Italian Job) is Blue and features working steering, suspension, wheels and also opening bonnet with engine, boot, doors.
If this Mini looks familiar it’s because it's a replica of one of the three Minis which featured in the original 1969 film " The Italian Job".
The Italian Job is perhaps one of the greatest British films, starring Michael Caine, Noel Coward, Benny Hill and of course the red, white and blue Mini Coopers.
Charlie (Michael Caine) has just left prison and now wants to pull off a big heist, the job is to steal $4m of gold arriving in Italy from China. Charlie's job needs financing, so he breaks in to prison to see Mr Bridger (a Mafia-type boss). In Italy, a clever plan is used to distract the authorities, while the raiders make their get-away in three Minis. This leads to the three Mini’s being chased by the Police through the back streets, sewers and roof tops of Turin before driving up a ramp in the back of a coach to make their getaway with the gold (well almost getaway!).
Please note: packaging does not feature any movie licensing or images.
1:18 scale (approx. 18cm / 7.1in long) - made by Kyosho.
