I wonder how it will compare to the Scaly Classic Minis?

The motor is listed as RX4. Is this correct?

We may be looking at the Scalextric-based Mini that was designed years ago.

Measurements are very close to current Scalex Mini Minor. Wow, that RX4 must take up all the space between the wheels.

Expert testimony from John Schoen has revealed that the high stance and tiny, 10" wheels of the SCX model are correct for c. 1964 rally Minis. They were evidently set up with extra ground clearance for coping with the snowy mountain roads.

In the '60's, my Dad used to say that the only place to get replacement tires for these cars was at the LHS !
