The first Corgi models (225 & 226) of the mini were released in 1961

I think Dinky released mini travellers in 62, then sedans around 64.

Spot on (tri-ang) released sedans and vans in 63/64

Matchbox released the 'racing' mini number 29 in 1971 (i think)

Hotwheels released the 'mini cooper' with the pop off body in 2000

Many more in between, and these dates are from my memory not a book at the moment.

I can look a few dates up if you let me know what you are after?
