Mini Cooper S Matchbox 2003 1:55 Loose Red

The model depicts a Mini Cooper S, a compact hatchback with a neat, well-proportioned shape and short body. The diecast model is made from a combination of metal and plastic. The body has an intense red colour, which highlights the vehicle's rounded shapes, compact length and urban character. The most distinctive detail is the roof covered with a Union Jack motif, referring to the car's British origins. The black windows give the body a uniform, modern appearance, while the black base remains visually consistent with the other dark elements of the model. The length of approximately 65 mm corresponds to a scale of around 1:55. The example has retained the form typical of a loose model intended for everyday play or to complement a collection. This is a simple, easily recognisable diecast model whose greatest decoration is the contrast between the red body and the distinctive roof design.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
