British Design Classics

Earlier this year, the UK’s Royal Mail brought out a special British Design Classics stamp collection … I love good design and this set was great (featuring Concorde, the “Routemaster” London double-decker bus, the iconic red Phone box, and the London Underground map, in addition to Mini) – and with Mini featured prominently I had to purchase for my MINI collection!

There’s lots to choose from, including a set of postcards and of course, the stamps themselves; I also got a “first day cover” set of franked stamps – with a cool Austin Mini steering wheel design. It’s all accompanied with some nice booklets with background info on the designs:

(you can see full size scans of this here: side 1, side 2)

But perhaps my favourite part of the collection is the full sheet of Mini stamps, with lots of little “Mini moment” panels:
