How about this one from Ausmini, ingeniously made out of sections of pool fencing?

Thanks for your replies, I think even the 60's rally ones were artisan pieces, there wast a production line, was there ?.....I wouldnt mind knocking one up myself, but in the meantime I have ordered one from "minimail"....great 60's looking item, and got to say a v good price considering what you pay for some things......cheers ray
