1/24 1962 Morris Mini

Here are some photos of my latest commission build, its not a racing model so I hope I am not offending anyone on here, I just thought it might be well received.

Its a 1962 Morris Mini in Fiesta yellow, with old english white wheels and grille, copied from my clients original car.

The kit was not of the same spec so quite a lot of modifications were required, some of which were.

Changing the kit double carb and airbox layout to a single
Front grille and bumper changes
Oval speedo was changed to a round one
Pull cord door opening system added
Seats were remoulded with putty and wire
Wicker baskets were made for under the rear seats and rear side panels, which were included with the car when originally bought in 1962









Hope you all enjoy looking at this old classic British car, it was fun building it!!!

Looks awesome. Couldn't figure out what is the stuff on the seats - glue before flocking?

No its filler, decided to put a layer off filler on them so I could etch the new seat pattern on to them.

How could anyone be offended by such a lovely little thing?!

Love the shopping bag in the companion bin! And your paintwork and finishing is superb!
