Looks reasonable value considering recent prices of some. Genuine Minilites too

My memory not so good now but as it says Olympic Blue I'd bet it is Ford, too late to be original G15 blue, their blue was Monaco, I think? Can't remember. Also believe Vaux do an Olympic blue. Colours so confusing now, but modern trend is the bright now, like this blue - and the current bright oranges, which I do like.
Wonder how much the 'real' Minilites cost?
Last time I was down there Tech-Del Ltd, 2008, when they were on the west coast (Somerset, UK!) I was staggered at some prices! That was when there were plans to do a book on the company but it never materialised. Another untold story, but lots of intrigue behind the name 'Minilite' and the original magnesium wheels in the 60s and 70s. There was even a court case around the use of the name Minilite.

Had another good look at the photos (by the way it's Mark Paterson's car). Does look lovely. Bit of rusty red around top of engine block - prob red hermitite sealing water ways - it's Wills ringed anyway. I can remember that being a bit of a problem on Wills ringed heads but far better than having a head gasket.
