I thought this was pretty cool, especially since Corgi Minis played a large part in my current obsession for the car. (from the Daily Telegraph)

The evergreen Mini remains a popular car with model collectors, none more so than this new release from Corgi, which depicts a street chase through Turin from The Italian Job.

Complete with cold-cast backdrop, the Mini pictured above costs £24.99. There's also a box set of Italian Job cars, featuring one red, one white and one blue Cooper, at £24.99 and a single Mini with racing driver figure and gold bullion costing £14.99.

Corgi's latest Mini marvel is the "Last Cooper S Set", a special edition costing £49.99. It features red, white and blue 1:36 die-cast Minis positioned side by side on a recreation of the Mini's distinctive dashboard and marked "End of an era". For all Corgi models, call 0845 603 9070 for stockists or visit www.corgiclassics.com for more information."
