"Scoring 92 on BrickScore and backed by 957 owner ratings at 4.8 out of 5, the 1967 Mini Cooper S Rally and 2018 MINI John Cooper Works Buggy is Highly Recommended and frequently cited as one of the finest Speed Champions sets ever released, anchored by a classic Mini that expert reviewers called the best minifigure-scale car LEGO had ever made."
Both Brickset and The Brothers Brick gave this Speed Champions dual-pack a 92 verdict, singling out the 1967 Mini Cooper S Rally as one of the best minifigure-scale cars LEGO had ever produced at the time of its 2019 release, with innovative building techniques, rubber-band-secured roof-rack tyres, and a new wheel arch element setting it apart from the rest of the line. The 2018 MINI John Cooper Works Buggy adds a working rubber-band suspension and a striking dark green livery as a strong secondary model. Owner scores align with this critical praise: 957 ratings averaging 4.8 out of 5 across Amazon and Walmart, with 92% of LEGO.com buyers recommending the set.
Where they split: Expert enthusiasm was very high (both major reviews at 92), but LEGO.com owner value-for-money scores of 3.92 out of 5 and at least one owner review citing the price as too expensive relative to similar Speed Champions sets indicate some tension between collector appreciation and casual buyer value perception.

Unlock with Collector or Reseller"Both the techniques and design rival the absolute best we see here on The Brothers Brick from hobbyist builders — unconstrained as we are by the rules of official LEGO designs and playability. This is the highest possible compliment we can pay an official LEGO set."
The Brothers Brick
"While the 2018 MINI is certainly fun, with lots of nice dark green pieces and a fun suspension mechanism, the '67 Mini is just plain stunning, with innovative building techniques and a gorgeous finished design."
"The price of £44.99 or $49.99 seems reasonable. At 481 pieces, this represents fair value; the reviewer notes the cars themselves represent approximately £30 value with the pit stop scenery adding another £15-20 of value. Commenters expect the set to be available at 20-30% discount within a few months of release."
Owners overwhelmingly praise the set's design and nostalgia appeal, though some criticize the price relative to similar Speed Champions sets and desire more detail on the Mini Cooper.
