VANGUARDS - A great addition to the vanguards range the Mini 1275 GT, this one, the 4,000,000th sold.


It is a shame that Vanguards seems to copy other brands, in the fact that SPARK do this esact same model, albeit for more than twice the price, but then you get far better detail and less clunky paint work, but saying that, this Mini 1275 GT is a great little car, in white, with the board on the roof, as it was when Austin promoted the car as the 4,000,000th one to be sold.

The wheels let the car down, as they do on a lot of Vanguards of late, but that can be slightly excused, as the rest os not a bad attempt, it is a Limited Edition, 1175/1600, it would have been fun to have had the 1275th, being that's the cars engine CC, but it does not matter.

Like all current vanguards they come attached to a plastic plinth with a perspex dome, and surrounded by a card covering, sealed at one end with the details of the model, I am a sucker for a Mini, having owned a real Mini 35 back in 1994, and hope one day that they do that model too.
