Appears to be from the MINI Boutique, the seller thought it was a giveaway at some show. It's very nice with lots of detail.

Flip it over does it say Kyoshso on the bottom?


If so it's more then likely a BMW/MINI authorized diecast sold at the Dealer.

I'll have to check mine when I get back home, but I think only the ones sold at the dealer have the windows in the "up position"

Looks good.

I don't think there was anything on the bottom but I'll double check when I get home. Here's another pic with its box:

I was thinking it might be an AutoArt. They make really nice, detailed MC (and MCS) diecasts, but it looks like the wheels are different so I suppose it's not. Looks nice! Let us know what you figure out about it.

That definately the Kyosha model sold by the Dealership, (sorry I spelled it wrong before) . You should have a MINI part number on the bottom of the box. It will look something like this: 80 43 0 029 831.

I've got the same model, right down to the tag number and the BRG/W MC and the DS/B MCS. These are highly detailed, well constructed pieces. It even says so on the bottom of the box

No, really they are very nice, even have carpet on the interior and the rear package shelf and seats are hinged and fold. I have a few of these I picked up but not at the dealer, I can't afford their prices. I think they are going for about $79

Enjoy it!

I checked and indeed it does say Kyosha on the bottom with a part number. It is very well done; little fabric seat belts with buckles and everything! Thanks for your input guys.
