Anyone going next weekend? Apparently those Chinese copy shells are going to be there. Worth getting a look

Three Chinese Classic Mini body shells were on display at a Classic Car show in Germany recently.

"Three Classic Mini body shells, each representing a different stage of production. Rather than presenting only a finished product, we wanted visitors to see the complete manufacturing journey—from welded steel to a fully painted body shell."

I'm looking to go, will be interesting to have a look at these.

I don't know if I'd want one. Where's the fun in that? I've spent countless hours cutting out rusted sheet metal and welding in new bits. Bits that don't always fit just right. And then the de-greasing of the oily smelly engine bay....and the cuts and scrapes you get when you're not paying attention....and the occasional burn from hot metal. It's all fun! Right?

Can you imagine putting one of these together and not getting dirty? Humph!

will be interesting to note the price compared to heritage
