Last released by Corgi in 2001, Mr Bean's Mini crashes back into the Corgi range for a special appearance, straight from the cult 1990s television series and feature film. Rowan Atkinson's comedy character, who he once described as "a child in a grown man's body", famously got into a series of slapstick scrapes while trying to navigate everyday life, often involving his olive green 1976 British Leyland Mini 1000.
The Austin Mini, launched in 1959 by the British Motor Corporation, revolutionized small car design with its compact size and innovative front-wheel-drive layout. Designed by Sir Alec Issigonis, the Mini maximized interior space through its transverse engine and wheels pushed to the corners, making it surprisingly roomy despite its tiny footprint. Powered initially by an 848cc engine, it became famous for its nimble handling and fuel efficiency. The Mini's iconic design and affordability made it a cultural icon of the 1960s, popular across all social classes. Its success inspired countless variants and it remains one of the most influential cars in automotive history. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
