I'd suspect it only exists on their website.

Apparently it is the roadworks car, that's what somebody said on FB (someone might know what/who that means)

Apparently someone took a mould of an original back in the day and this is one made from it.

From memory it was Jono Morris who said he knew about it and gave the above details.

Several people have made copy's/fakes over the years...both Brian Foley and Laurie Stewart are still around...I wonder what they think and what the Broadspeed people UK might have to say...

Had a look today at the website. The description only says Broadspeed Mini. Is it a genuine original or a copy?

Its a lead in for anyone interested in this sort of derivative.

We have two Melbourne based customers ( one is a repeat customer) who has shown
interest.

We are happy to discuss over the phone options that are available.

Yeah that one! [with apologies to Little Britain...]

No eye deer what John Cooper would have thought...he was happy with his two pounds per car for a while there...
