Here are two Minis for your viewing by Tomica.
The attention to details put into these 1:64 diecast model cars are commendable and they are relatively affordable when compared with more premium brands.
As to what is the proper name for a Mini, is it going to Austin Mini or Morris Mini?
To shed some light on this FAQ, the following extract from Wikipedia is illuminating:-
"In August 1959, the Mini was marketed under the Austin and Morris names, as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini-Minor. The Austin Seven was renamed Austin Mini in January 1962 and Mini became a marque in its own right in 1969. In 1980, it once again became the Austin Mini, and in 1988, just "Mini" (although the "Rover" badge was applied on some models exported to Japan).
BMW acquired the Rover Group (formerly British Leyland) in 1994, and sold the greater part of it in 2000, but retained the rights to build cars using the Mini name. Retrospectively, the car is known as the "Classic Mini" to distinguish it from the modern, BMW-influenced MINI family of vehicles produced since 2000."
