What do you have in your "Mancave"

Post by mk1 »

As well as Mini's I am sure that a lot of us also have a few interesting BMC bits & bobs stashed away.

Here's your chance to show us what you have.

To kick off, here are a few bit's lurking about my shed.

A Few signs, Neon & Fluorescent:

Finally, a very rare salesman's sample case of Nuffield / Morris Promo stuff. Only seen a couple of these ever!

Didn't a forumer make a mould to replicate the big BMC Rosette a couple of years ago. If you're out there, I'd like one.......

A few BMC bits including a Dunlop banner I bought on Ebay that turned out to be a bit bigger than I was expecting, now in someone else's shed...

Love the rally plates! I've got a few of these in the loft, need to get them out on display.
