QUOTE I like the Mini with the two motors, very different.
Could you please tell me if the wheels are plastic, or alloy with resin inserts, and who made them, plus the tyres you used, as they look great.

The wheels were modified eigthies style BSCRA wheels for sponge tyres, narrowed etc,
tyres were Ortmanns, can't remember which ones, but turned down quite a bit, may have been Scalextric C75 Merc 190 tyres, I think.
Inserts were the plastic wheels from the Airfix static kit turned down to size and drilled as per Cooper S wheels.

has anyone ever heard about the 1960 australian c76

Are you talking about the Honda Motor Cycle ? or maybe the P76 Leyland Car from the 70,s ?

I think it's a mini cooper

Troby??? Troby made a Mini? Do tell us more Bernard... I think even the French don't know about that one, or at least I've never seen or heard of this...

The C76 FWD Mini was available in the UK in red or green, in AUS and NZ it was also avaliable in black, but it is quite scarce.
And it would not be 1960 but 1965-69

The fastback is a Broadspeed GT 2+2. From the same Broadspeed who went on to race Fords.

Another one who would like to know more about the Trobi Mini, Bernard.

I like the Hornby C7 Minis and just picked up a job lot from Ebay which included a nice example of one I haven't got. I think it's referred to as the "Type 5.5" on the Slot Car Portal - it has flared wheel arches, an RX motor and is red all over, Was this version only available in red, whereas the previous black roofed cars were available in white and yellow too?
