| What can I say. This is a wrecked example of a bastardised model. The old
Mini was wonderful, in every one of its many guises. This is what happens when
you add Whizzwheels, reduce production standards and use poor quality paints.
Might not be so bad if it were less bashed up, but honestly I
can't bring myself to pay anything for one of these. This cost £2.50 which was
plenty. The
old 226 Mini-Minor was changed to Whizzwheels and renumbered 204 in
1972. It remained in the range for another year. There are a number of
variations for a model which was produced for such a brief time. you
will see it in dark blue, deep blue, metallic blue and metallic blue
with a black roof. It is also orange or orange with a black roof. The
orange car is known with either red or yellow seats. Despite my low
opinion of this car it is expensive and scarce - presumably because not
many were sold and because of the wide range of finishes available each
one would have been sold only in small quantities. All versions are
highly priced but the best ones are deep blue or orange with a red
interior. |
