so this is not a new one ! lol ...

(((((before edit .... and the other one was white (kinda of a matt finish) more of a rally style, very distiquishable with rad fan in grille ! lol
that one was at the ' gr'8 leicester mini club ' .... before edit)))))

shell is good. No accident damage. Has had wheelarches cut for 13 inch wheels, but can be covered with wheel arches, I had the interior wood panels replaced and the rear inner wheelarch es repaired and strengthened.
The doors were factory altered and are steel, so the tin worm has taken the skins, but can be rebuilt. There is no ID with the body as the plate is missing
