1/32 scale slot car. Model of Neptune Racing Team, No2, Australian Touring Car Championship. Driver: Manton
History: In 1958 the Mini rapidly took shape around Alec Issigonis's concept. Leaps of engineering imagination were performed including the placement of the gearbox under the engine, front-wheel drive with the power unit mounted transversely, and rubber cone suspension designed by rubber expert Alex Moulton. The Mini soon became a car beloved by the ordinary man as well as the racing world. Although, as a race car, the Mini was not the quickest, in terms of straight-line speed, on the track it was certainly the car that would gain a big advantage through twisty parts of a circuit or rally stage.
