Even Minier Mini

            Matchbox No29 - Racing Mini
One of my all time favourites, actually it is my all time favourite - you can tell from the extreme wear on the tyres. If the collection had to go and I could only keep one then this is it and I don't know exactly why.
I've replaced the number decals because the originals were just an indecipherable, grubby brown but otherwise this is just as it came out of the attic.
It was sold from 1971 to 1976 but this colour was from the first year of production. (It's a transparent red lacquer over a metallic gold base coat which gives quite a distinctive finish.)
