The Scalextric model
In recognition of possibly the greatest ever British crime caper, three of the stars from 1969’s cult classic, The Italian Job, are now faithfully reproduced by Scalextric.
An icon of design when the film was released, the three Mk1 Austin Mini Cooper S’s captured the hearts of movie fans the world over; starring in one of the most memorable car chase scenes in cinema history.
Incredibly, for the shooting of the getaway scenes the cars were only slightly modified to achieve the array of dazzling stunts. Movie cars are generally heavily modified to cope with the strains of stunt driving, but the Coopers were race bred, extremely light and incredibly tough in all the right areas.
The Mini originally went into production in 1959 and, coincidentally, celebrates its 50th anniversary as the classic The Italian Job movie celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2009.
The Italian Job remains as one of the most distinctive comedy films in the history of British cinema.
Each car is liveried in the correct shade of red, white and blue complete with the individual licence plate numbers.
