Toy manufacturer Lego has been offering building kits of iconic cars under the sub-name Lego Creator for some time now. For example, the Volkswagen T1 has already been dissected into building blocks. An exotic like the Ferrari F40 has also been developed in LEGO trim. A beautiful kit of the Mini Cooper Mk VII -suitable for the age category 16 years and older- saw the light of day in 2014
This beautiful LEGO model of the classic MINI Cooper Mk VII is more than a pack of stones, moving parts and other parts. When designing the kit, the maker thought of various authentic details, such as a classic green-white color scheme with white mirrors and stripes, movable doors, hood and tailgate and sporty fog lamps. The detailed engine and separate space for the spare wheel are also available.
Inside attention to detail
The Mini Cooper Mk VII from LEGO gives the builder the idea of creating a full-fledged car. It is striking that the designers also thought about the color scheme of the interior. When the car is constructed according to the detailed construction drawings, it becomes clear what a masterpiece the Danish manufacturer has delivered. After completion it is special to remove the roof. Then there is a view of the beige interior with seats with upholstery pattern, the wood-colored dashboard, and the rotating steering wheel. And other movable things have also been thought of: the gear lever and hand brake can be operated fictitiously. To complete the design, LEGO has also thought of the unmistakable picnic basket with a matching blanket on board.
Personalisation
It is of course also possible to personalize the MINI yourself, using building blocks or loose stones already in your possession, for example by making the Union Jack for the roof yourself. The MINI also offers a good basis for converting it into a convertible version at its own discretion.
Different prices
Depending on the provider - both on location and digitally - prices are used that are generally between € 89 and € 100. The LEGO suggested retail price is € 99,99. If you want to place a nice gift such as the Mini Cooper from LEGO Creator under the Christmas tree, then it is certainly worthwhile to visit the websites of various suppliers, specialty stores or toy stores in advance. But wherever you buy it: at least you have a very nice LEGO product in your hands.
