Niki Lauda's race Mini has been found!*

*Well, I built a 1:24 model of it, in the livery of the first owner - Fritz Baumgartner. I tried to include as many authentic details as possible, but failed in a few instances where I had to compromise. I also admit I am not the greatest of all model builders, though it looks nice from 1/2 a metre or so ;)
Until I can afford (poverty sucks! :cry: ) building an 1:1 replica this is basically my "methadone" :lol:

Goodwood are doing a Lauda tribute at the Members Meeting, will they include a Mini Cooper? 🤔

Maybe the wrong one, the one most of the internet and even Lauda believe(d) to be his :lol:

But I could lend them my scale model of his Mini ;)

Dark blue / white roof with his number plate would do it.
