Hi.
I have recently bought a 1989 rover mini Mayfair. It started out as a LHD, spent some time in Japan, and arrived in NZ as a RHD.
Somewhere along the way, it has been fitted with a whole lot of Mark 1 fittings, which I generally like. One thing I don't like is that it has been badged as a Morris Cooper S.
What I'm thinking of doing, since I like the old style script, and the holes are already there, is replicate the "Morris Cooper" script on the boot with something like "Mini Mayfair" to keep it honest but with an old style look.
I thought I'd get it 3D printed.....but I need to know the script style.

That's a cool idea, a decent artist should be able to draw you a template I'd think if you show them the font of the old ones.

These are really cool idea. I did get a "Traveller" in the Morris script of a member of my local Mini club. Don't know where he got it from though originally.
