Mini Cooper 1965 Herpa

Brand - Reference

Herpa 053988

Type

Mini Mayfair

Comments

Car with right-hand-drive. Metallic green paint, white roof. Headlights and tail lights inserted. Nice rims, tyres too big (+40%!) and wheels too big (+8%). Wheel axles to shorten. No wipers. Under the chassis of this car presented as Mayfair, it is indicated Mini Cooper, and, in fact, with its battery of long-range headlights, it looks more like that.

Modifications

Axles shortened to reduce the clearance.
