yep, that`s the one :-)

anyone else know anything about them?

anyone else actually know they even existed?

i`ve had mine for many many years now & i once helped (Saved) a prominent mini owners club member from getting rid of his as he didn`t know what it was,,, in hindsight i should have just bought it off him & let him find out later :-)

anyways,,, common,,, who knows their early English "S" stuff ???

an awful lot of work in making one,,, then to copy the original "SERKS" tag would be even harder
