With its engine fitted transversely, the 1959 Mini was a small revolution. In 1961, Alec Issigonis reinforced the historic role of its creation through the intervention of his friend John Cooper who offered a sports version to the Mini: the output increased from 34 to 55 hp. The first Cooper, here with a black bonnet, is recognizable thanks to its doubled bumpers on each side of the front.

Launched in 2005, the C1 belonged to a joint program between the French group PSA and Toyota. The twin of the C1 in Peugeot’s range is called 107, while the Toyota Aygo, despite a specific body, shares all the technical elements of PSA models, as well as the production line in the Czech Republic. This diecast model reproduces the first-generation C1 released in 2005.
