    Hi SS, it doesnt actually look much like a cooper though, I have seen these at the lego stores in Denmark and they are pretty unrealistic... Apart from the fact that when you try to open the doors or bonnet/boot, then bits fall off.... so at least that bit is correct :-)

    Decided against it. It was a Beetle GT and was going to buy it for £435 as it had a bit of a smash.

    No then. I thought you was talking about the 1/10 scale models. :/

    IIRC they were made by Nikko and came in a little plastic container. Like this but this is a Bini and far too expensive ;-)

Anyone know anything about scalextric? I'm wanting to get one but with classic minis to race, do I need a certain track for them?

    Except I think for the digital track you can use any age car on the track.

I have looked at a few minis recently, and some have good(ish) bodies with work needed on engines, and some have bad bodies but great engines? Which would you pick?

    I'm not saying anything... but why leave it in an open car park overnight in the first place? I get paranoid enough at leaving mine only 'worth' 2k even with me close by.
