Features: Celebrating 50 Years of the MINI
The MINI was officially launched on August 26, 1959, and became an instant megastar of the 20th century's brightest decade and a true icon of motoring history.

Introduced to the world as the darling of the Swinging Sixties, the MINI evolved into a racing champion, dominating the rally scene of the late 1960s, and has now set the standard in 21st century cool urban transport; the diminutive MINI really has made it BIG.

The MINI has changed in many ways over the past 50 years but the obsession with the car continues.

Scalextric pays homage to the first ever MINI to roll off the production line 50 years ago; straight into the motoring hall of fame.
