I think there's only 2 or 3 out here.
One is on a racetrack, one in a garage and the other in bits?

Freddy Sayers has the mould for making them if you`re interested

I have a mould for making the Buckle Monaco fastback

Matt...can Fred and yourself produce them legally...or do you just have custody of the moulds

Not being clever...not being another name....just interested in the situation after all these years...don't have to answer if not appropriate

It must be comforting for those who have originals to know that there is a source of repair parts if needed....

I believe that Freds moulds are the original Foley moulds, but you`d have to clarify that with Fred, we talked about the pair of us cornering the market on the fastbacks a while ago, pretty funny hey?

I have spoken to Fred a fair few times about making one for me too but he has a list as long as both his arms, plus he has got a lot of other things to finish too.

and yes i am quite sure he has the original foley moulds.

Foley works not to far from me these days and but is still more interested in his Alfa's these days than minis.

I'd love to have copy for a future project.

From what I recall I think that Fred has only part of the moulds needed to make the Broadspeed, and yes they are the original moulds.

I think it's about time someone did a local , modernised version of both . Imagine a Broadspeed or Monaco with a hatchback and a bit of extra styling ....

I don't want to imagine it.... I want one too much...

Monacos are cool, but I'd kill for a Broadspeed
