That's a crying shame Mark as I'm sure plenty on here would love to see it in the flesh, including me. It's daft really - at Stanford Hall last year no sooner had I parked my car up in front of the MCR stand when two complete strangers came up to me wanting to know if the right hand tank filler neck and cap were fake!

Nidge,

I have had that nonsense for years. At a Mini show in 2012 I was told that my Mk3 Cooper S should not have an alternator and at another Mini show I was told that my Mk2 Cooper S was actually Mk1 with Mk2 grill and bigger tail lights. I tend to visit classic car shows that have all types of vehicles on display.

All speedwell pedals were made of plastic. They never made an alloy one.

that looks like its been made using one of those home casting kits

I have a metal one on my car that some guy in America hand made back in the 70's
My friend over there got it for me.
His plan was to reproduce them but it was too costly and time consuming.
Not sure how many he made, but it is nothing like the one the bay.

I've got a plastic one still in its packet waiting to go on my car.... is it worth more than the car now...?
