This is a reissue of the 1967 Monte Carlo Mini Cooper S with Whizzwheels. The Whizzwheels don't really detract from the model, especially as a set of extended wheel arches have been added to the casting. There are some problems with this one though - for a start off, why paint it yellow? It is a model of a real car - it even has the registration number on a decal back and front - and the car of which it is a model is red and white, not yellow. The yellow paint they have used is thick and hides the casting detail too.

This is a nice bright example of the model with minimal wear to the paint and only a few breaks in the roof-rack.
