Ir a la galeríaLego ownership can be reduced to three stages. Think back to those childhood days. There was the initial excitement when you brought it home.

The steering wheel, gearstick, handbrake and seat backrests are movable. Fully-assembled, the car is 25 centimetres long, 14 centimetres wide and 11 centimetres high. All those traditional hallmarks are there: from the British Racing Green body to the white roof and stripes. Even the interior colour scheme stays true to the original.

Now, it's taking aim at automotive enthusiasts again with the recently announced classic Mini Cooper set due to go on sale on August 1 for $99.99.
