Sort of, but its not a kit car, it was from scratch, from the chassis to the moulds
to the suspension all unique. some of you old geexers may remeber it from the '78?

Kev, is that the green paint the Padstow sell? I am jut trying to get the right Paint for my motor and am just dubious as to spending as much as they want for so little if it isn't right.

Cheers

Yep it's MINI346, `Cooper S metallic green' from Padstow Pirates. $40/L tin..
Might be the right colour for a Mk2S, but I've seen nicer shades.. from Omeron Coatings, and White Knight.

what the mini minor was like before....no engine now.

Image

that 998cc engine is now in the 850's engine bay which used to look like this ......

Image

and this 1100 is destined for the mini minor - not really an engine bay shot but .....just try zooming in
