To win this particular competition, you need a 1 off plastic fantastic that once the designer / builder finished it he poked his own eyes out & cut his own hands off so he could never make the same mistake again.

CJB Bison springs to mind :-)

If this comes off Jeroen it'd be great to get as many plastic Minis there as possible, that would definately butter my crumpet. 8-)

Ta Da!

So much a one off that the designer has dissapeared off the face of the earth............

Usual story, a moment of weakness impeccably timed at the same moment as a bout of ridiculous optimism conspired to get me a racing car project........ Well, that's never happened before. :lol:

I bought it as it was the nearest I've seen to the Mink, but as yet I'm not exactly sure what it is / who built it. It is a '60s clubmans car though, and I have been progressing with it as a 1000cc car. I have drawn up the key body sections at 1:1 but It's for sale (as my projects always are) as, much as I love it, I want a car I can use on the road, and for the work I have to put in to it, I'm not really a racer, so I'm lacking the motivation.

It's a sod when you get old and realise you aren't the racing driver you maybe believed you could become when you were younger............ 8-)

I'm looking at either a Sprite, or another period special project, but a road car with a body I don't have to make entirely myself

But when the Mink comes up for sale in the future I have first refusal, and it has a V5!
