I've got a feeling the FRA is the one that looks most like a mini - not with those big lumps on the side like the dominos. What a steal!

No, that makes it an FRA. How many headlamps does it have space for?

There was a four headlamp one, but wasn't that a one-off? I remember seeing it in Mini World and I'm pretty sure it was (or was it the fact that it was carbon kevlar the bit that made it one-off??
Has this FRA been previosuly buitl/registered or is it new? Sounds like a steal to me!

On one hand i want to keep it, on the other i want to sell it. Any ideas how much i should get for it if i decided to sell?
I look as though it will have to go a be build at the parents in Norfolk BigGav, unless i can find a garage quick.
