Mini's

QUOTE I hope Scudbong Pete sees this thread so he can post pics of his reworked Airfix Minis.

Your wish is my command (albeit a bit late), these are he only pictures I have available until I sort out my camera.

This one is just a simple repaint completed quite a few years ago



This one is a a car I restored about 5 years ago that has a nice brass rail chassis with an MRRC motor between the rails and even a neat little drop arm on the front. It also has the very nice MRRC 10" wheels and matched tyres, performance is surprislingly good.



Finally, this is one I built 2 years ago and it has been campaigned at many races since. It is painted in BMC 'Surf' Blue and is one of my favourite cars I have built.







Thanks,

Pete

Here`s a couple of unusual ones I`ve just got out of the loft Jam.

First up is a French made Scaley Mini. Different (better) shade of red compared to the UK ones. It has dish wheels. There is no co-driver.
The car is left hand drive & the drivers crash helmet is different.





Different guide to UK cars.



& one of my type 4 c7 UK Minis. Only made in 1973. Solid colour all over.

Cheers,
Kev.





This Type 4 is also a rare RX motor version.

Hi there Jam...

Here are a few more photos of some of my various "Minis" in my collection.

This one is a "Modelzone" Ltd Edition BMW Mini..


Heres a Scalextric "All White" moulded BMW Mini.


This is one of my more "Unusual" slot car conversions, a 4x4 Mini.. Body's an early Scalextric one, chassis came from a motorised 4x4 toy. Not fast but great fun...


Thats all for now..
I will take some more photos of my other Minis, and post them..

All the best.. Martin..

I received another LHD French Scalextric Mini today Jam.
This one is unusual as far as French Minis go because it does not have dish wheels fitted.
Cheers,
Kev.

here you go then. i know its not a standard production mini , well it was once but it is unique (and possibly a matter of taste) but ive just put this one together from a pile of junk. the shell was scrap as the arches had been hacked off by a previous owner , possibly with a chainsaw but i had an old set left over from another "project". i like the slightly more to scale look of the better proprtioned arches on the shell. obviously the ferrari rims are a tad large but hey , they were begging to go on. i also think the simple paint suits a smaller car. ive considerably lowered the front of the chassis over the guide blade for a better look and handling. all in all i'm rather pleased.

This is developing into a great mini thread, there's some gorgeous cars here already. Here's some of mine, nothing too out of the ordinary but I'll add them anyway:

Scaley Clubmans are cool & easy to maintain.
I`ve had these since they were new, & the odd bath in luke warm soapy water keeps them looking A1.
(You`ve just got to keep looking for a French Mini with dish wheels Jam)
Cheers.
Kev.

i finally had a chance to give this one a proper thrashing today. i have a new favourate car , its a real hoot! even with its narrowed track it will easily out-run a "standard" gt. it needs a little ballast i think but it really is pretty good. best of all is it only stands me a couple of quid!

plus , any excuse for another pic!

Here's some of my newer old minis:
