my new Project "Mini Speedster"

[DougieMc]

thought I would put some pix of our new project 

Many of you have seen the Carbon '72 Mini that a few of us put together a couple of years ago

then last year I purchased a 356 chesil Speedster which is just awesome and completed a Round Europe road trip in it

but when this new project came up it was just too good to be true 
Think of a mixture of my 2 current cars 


Yes its a Mini Speedster
it was used as a Millionaires Kids toy  so its got a few bumps and bruises, and wasnt running after the kid decided he wanted to be an auto electrician in future life

anyway the plan is ( with a help from a few mates as usual ) to get it running and make the outside and inside a 100% replica of the other Speedster 
the car is handbuilt under license for Porsche in Germany and is chassis number 14.

When it appeared on ebay as a kids toy it was too good to miss then I discovered exactly what it was and how much it was worth. 
so will post up some pix as the build goes on, for now its not running and has a few scrapes and bits needing modded to make more like the other car
but the aim of the project is for me to drive it ( yes I can fit in it ) and will attend some of the meets in it aswell






enjoy

Read your road trip in one of the mag's, must of been fun. Already on the want to do list with the Mrs when the kids grow up a little.

Be quite, if the kids heard you say that Olly, I'd have remortgage to pay for all those little cars. The price of them are crazy. 5-6 grand for a base model. Think l could knock a few up for that kind of money.
