I haven't looked through the web site site as yet, but it appears that this company has been resurected and Paddy does have some association with it.

http://www.paddyhopkirkmini.com/

<EDIT> it appears to be affiliated with Mini Sport (UK). That's a shame.

Looks to be some of minisports go fast bits with paddys name on them, Makes me feel I bit nauseous.

I was expecting some of the original bits from the 60s getting re made not branding gone mad.

You might be surprised, send Minsport an E-mail letting them know and if there is enough Keerching/potential demand, they will have them made. :wink:

Meh. If it was the correct Monte Carlo badge then I'd bite, even at that price.

Plus the site is too graphics heavy. Browsing will have to wait until I get ultrafast broadband...

My first thought was:

Who ever made this, either has fibre optic internet, or should be fired.

I have an original Paddy Hopkirk seat. If I were to have a bunch made up off the pattern would anyone be interested in a group buy?? The seatcover slips over standard seat frames.
If there is enough interest will get a couple of prices.

be warned they're expensive. Its why i have two miss matched ones. Because the previous owner (the guy who got them made) had two done & couldn't justify the price of getting more done...having said that i'd possibly buy some more :lol:

"The seatcover slips over standard seat frames. ....."

Not on my 80s version... I think making a replica would be a big job..
