Scalextric C2921A - Italian Job Austin Mini Cooper Set - Classic Mini's
In recognition of possibly the greatest ever British crime caper, three of the stars from the 1969's cult classic, The Italian Job, are now faithfully reproduced by Scalextric. An icon of design when the film was released, the three MkI 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 Italian Job remains as one of the most distinctive comedy films in the history of British Cinema.
