The model includes a detailed interior reflecting its motorsport role, featuring simplified trim, racing seats and period fixtures.

The racing Mini Cooper became a symbol of small-car performance, proving that lightweight engineering and clever design could outmatch larger rivals. The 1275S and related racing derivatives achieved tremendous success across rally stages and circuits, taking advantage of the Mini’s front-wheel-drive layout and agile handling. Its victories throughout the 1960s cemented its reputation as one of the most influential competition cars of its era, and it remains a beloved fixture in motorsport history.
