Austin Mini Cooper S
- The Italian Job (1969) (The Italian Job) in Blue (1:18 scale)
- If this Mini looks familiar it’s because it"s a replica of one of the three Minis which featured in the original 1969 film > The Italian Job>.
The Italian Job is perhaps one of the greatest British films, starring Michael Caine, Noel Coward, Benny Hill & of course the red, white & blue Mini Coopers.
Charlie (Michael Caine) has just left prison & now wants to pull off a big heist, the job is to steal $4m of gold arriving in Italy from China. Charlie"s job needs financing, so he breaks in to prison to see Mr Bridger (a Mafia-type boss). In Italy, a clever plan is used to distract the authorities, while the raiders make their get-away in three Minis. This leads to the three Mini’s being chased by the Police through the back streets, sewers & roof tops of Turin before driving up a ramp in the back of a coach to make their getaway with the gold (well almost getaway!).
