...I think the angle stiffener is wrong ?? its not angled ???.. but then this may have had a design change on later models ??...perhaps earlier types were vertical.. I don't think any late mk 1 2,s or 3,s had this ???.. just an observ ??? foxy52

I've got quite a few of these but none as in good a nick as this one - I'd say it's not too far off if you're building a conc. Only a conc, mind you - I wouldn't pay more than a tenner for it! ;)

Not mini but very rare and beautiful all the same

Could do a 'Graduate' or 'Ferris Bueller' in something like that !!

I just happen to think whatever Inno did with BMC products they showed us their full potential. Remember this was done in 1961,based on a Frogeye !! The Sprite had stodgy 1950's styling (but still with it's own appeal) but this is a good 10yrs ahead in design.Some lines look a bit TR6 ?

I agree - it looks fantastic :)
Actually, having seen the prices asked for some Frogeyes recently this isn't all that expensive for something SO rare and attractive is it?? Very nice I think.

Couldn't agree more. I have always thought that Inno Minis were how BMC Minis "Should" be. Opening windows, nice dashes, better trim etc. Just a much better finished product all round.
