Hi all,

Im a newbie here,didnt know this forum existed??

 

I used to own a1965 Morris Cooper back in the `70`s and loved it to bits.

Had to sell up when the kids came along and often wondered what happened to it?

 

Im about to start a Revell Mini Cooper kit and Im going to make it the same as my cooper.

Ive found a lot of snaps of it before and after I restored it (I found it in a back garden!!). so should be fun?

A friend has already made the no plates for me ASY 830C so Ill be cracking on with it today?

 

If anyones intested,I can post some pics as I go?

cheers

[slash]

will do.

 

The instructions show the engine block/gearbox assy as silver and olive green,if my memory is right,I thought the whole unit was painted green?

Can anyone confirm please?

This is a diecast model kit your doing right? If so, is that allowed, starting a build thread? Lol

Hi,

No,its a plastic kit by Revell.

 

Ive made a lot of there kits and are very good although some of the colours they recommend are not always `correct`?

HI,How do I post pics on here?

Going to start fitting HT leads today.

Yes it's amazing what is available to the public. You can also check the insurance database to see if it's insured (this car is not).

The data I posted up shows when the last road tax expired.
