  • Mini and Lego Together At Last: You Want One Of These!

    We remember happy childhood memories of building Lego houses and playing with elaborately real toy cars. Many happy hours spent in the land of imagination, battering our siblings over the head for our favourite toy on the lounge carpet…

    In a tribute to these glory days, Mini and Lego have teamed up and released a lego version of the classic Mini with AWESOME results!

    the latest Lego Creator Expert model — a Mini Cooper — could change all of that and make the building of a classic car something the whole family can do and can do on the living room rug rather than in a draughty garage space.

    Set to go on sale in August, and based on the 40th anniversary Mini Cooper, launched in 2007, the brick-based car is packed full of painstaking attention to detail.

    The doors open, the handbrake and checker-patterned seats are adjustable — it even boasts a hexagonal grille, flared wheel arches and a pretty good Lego representation of the 1.3-liter, four-cylinder engine under the hood.

    Perhaps most impressive is how the model’s designers have managed to pack in so many authentic touches while also retaining the real car’s proportions albeit at a much smaller scale.

    Due to this immense attention to detail, they do not recommend this to enthusiasts younger than 16 without some expert lego-building assistance.

    If the life-sized Mini is more your scene, book a test drive now and you could soon be the proud owner of a rather more solid hatch version for as little as R3500 a month. Check out more here.
