For reference pictures - here a couple of good Mainstream cars. A few minor mods, but hopefully give you some information to help? https://www.originalmini.uk/mini-for-sa ... ttor-model

Thanks Sean, I didn't realise the fans were were still available! Somerford and minispares we showing them NLA.

Thanks very much, the orange peel on that green one is quite bad from factory, maybe I shouldn't flat and polish it after all! :lol:

Hopefully we can finish it off for Beaulieu, nice run down to the new forest!

Still looking for the two dash cards if anyone has any kicking about, and maybe a radio!

I'm sure there's a few odds and sods I'm forgetting!
