I've heard such a thing existed, but never seen one before.

I'll be watching that. It could be a nice addition to the Traveller someday. :)

I've seen pictures (well , drawings anyway) in UK magazines , pretty sure there's some in the mag featuring the launch of the mini so they were a very early idea .

There's no way I would put the plastic cover on however....who could hide all that mechanical mischief.

Don't set your heart on it Brett, thats going to sell for a fair bit, is my prediction. :lol: I've seen them before but never with the cover.

Just remembered that the Mk1 Conversions website has a bit about SPQR stuff on it.

Yes, I'm guessing it will go the usual eBay way and rise 5000% in the last 30secs. :roll:

I'd like it but I'm not paying silly money for it.

There were many to choose from at the time , these 3 are from "Autocar" , 10 July 1964 .

SPQR did a range of mini accessories ,

Though these were pretty similar .

The magazine is too brittle to open enough for the best detail on the first scan .
