Hi All,
Just giving you all the heads up.
I am a bit short of some cash so relunctly I will soon be putting up my ORIGINAL, first out of the mould, Mini Reek body shell up for Sale on Ebay. The original timber plug took me 3 years to complete for a mould to be made.This body was made in 1993 from my mould and I have now made a modification to the mould to incorperate a better engine cover as I was not totally happy with it. I believe this to be the only scale copy of the Eureka/Sterling/Nova and its here in Australia.This could be seen as a piece of history !
As can be seen by the photos this body needs a lot of hard sweat to make it shine again. It needs a total respray as it has recieved a lot of scratches over the years. There is no chassis to offer or headlight covers as I used these on my RED one that I had at Coffs AGM.
You have seen what it can look like finished and remember you have to be of small stature (short like me) to even think about fitting in it to drive. This car is 7 foot long and 3 foot wide and open to your own imagination.
I will not be offering packageing or delivery either so it will be up to you to pick it up from Coffs, however I might be able to make up a platform for it to sit on out of old packing timber.
I have been quoted up to $1200 to produce a new one from the mould.
If you want to know any more details you can email me on: eeleymanns@westnet.com.au
Use the link at the top of the message to view some happy snaps I took today.

Shame you have to sell it, at least you'll still have the red one, and the molds. Maybe make another body or two to make some more cash?
