Just noticed these on MiniMania.

http://www.minimania.com/web/item/AB14700/InvDetail.cfm

I had a chat with a rep from MiniMania about the markings. Apparently they don't have Lockheed/Girlock/PBR embossed on them but the triangle on the lid visible in the photo looks like the Girlock symbol. He said they were made in OZ. Is anyone aware of a local supplier?

Time to get rid of it all, all those unobtainable things are being remade one-by-one!

So if we wait long enough we might be able to build a Cooper S, or Clubman GT or Sports 850 completely from remade parts?

Yeah... and it will cost $50K to do so in parts prices :D
