Hi, very new to looking for a classic mini !

Looking for something that will "stand out from the crowd"

Not for show, just something with wow factor !

Mini parts seem to be very available, but the question is how available are parts for woolsely hornet ?

Are mini parts mix and match, or are they unique ?

What are people's thoughts on the hornet ?

Thanks

I think they look great. Definitly go for one to standout a bit. In terms if parts all the running gears the same. A lot if the body work is the same. I don't think you can get the boot panels or rear quaters so if it needs work here you're need to look for second hand or graft custom metal work on to mini panels. I don't know what's available in terms in trim ect but it will be fully interchangeable with ministuff if your not too bothered about 100% origionality. And have a look at riley elfs, they are the same but re badged!

Thank you

Most parts are interchangeable with minis, all interior bits are available from newton commercial and lots of the panels are available from m machine not far from you in Darlington.


Will be great to see another wolseley around Teesside
