Are you sure?
Current Mini Cooper S wheel base is 2470mm compared to 239mm for Tamiya LWB equivalent. Around 1/10.
BMC Mini from the 60's had a wheel base of 2040mm compared to 210mm for the Tamiya SWB equivalent. Also 1/10.
I think you'll find it is the Datsun 280 ZX which is 1/12 scale. Wheel bases I could find on the web for the different models ranged from 2320mm to 2520mm which is closer to 1/12 scale when compared to the 210mm SWB M05 it will be mounted on.
More details are on the Tamiya America web site where it is still referred to as 1/12 scale . Kit p/n is 92213.
