Got this yesterday, paid £230. It does mean that the Green mini will have to go though.

Apparently marina door handles, but the same as lots of Austins of the time.

Will where do you get the time? When I saw you at the sprint you had kids, a wife, a race car???? I dont have kids and never seem to have the time or cash.. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

It looks OK. Is it all fibreglass or does it have a steel chassis? Certainly nicer on the eye than the sprint.
