321 BMC Mini Cooper S Monte Carlo 1965

February 1965 - 1966

One of two Monte Carlo Minis with the same catalogue number but this has a completely different front to most of the Mini Coopers, with two fog lamps in the cast. This is the edition also found in Gift Set 38. RN 52 three jewels in the grille.

Always with shaped wheels and Morris badged.

321 BMC Mini Cooper S Monte Carlo 1966

January 1966 - 1967

The second with the 321 catalogue number. A different casting, now with just two jewels in the grille, RN 2 and signatures on the roof.

This always has shaped wheels and Morris badged.

333 BMC Mini Cooper S Sun International Rally

January 1967 - 1967

Another Rally car, issued with the Rover 2000 for the RAC Sun Rally. RN 21. 4 jewels in the grille.

This can be found with an Austin badge and shaped wheels or a Morris badge with cast wheels

339 BMC Mini Cooper S Monte Carlo

March 1967 - 1971

The 1967 edition of the Monte Carlo series, different again, with the obvious roof rack and front end signs.

This can be found with an Austin badge and shaped or cast wheels or a Morris badge with cast wheels.

Early editions had transfers for the Rally boards, later had paper stickers.

This continued in production, changing colour for the Whizzwheels 308 model in 1971/2.

334 BMC Mini Cooper S 'Magnifique'

December 1968 - 1970

Issued in metallic green or metallic blue and always with cast wheels.

The only variation known is a scarce wider striped roof blind. Whether that was, indeed, issued or is just a pre-production item that has reached the market is not clear.

One otherwise quite reputable site seems to suggest that the narrower stripes are the scarcer but that is not correct.

282 BMC Mini Cooper S

March 1971 -1974

The Whizzwheels version of 334, with a strange RN 177.

This can be found with four or five spoke wheels, with and without tinted windows.
