Hi,

Just wanted some help in sourcing a body shell for a 1994 Tamiya Classic Mini Cooper kit that I purchased as from what I can see Tamiya no longer produce this body shell.

I purchased a couple of rolling M-03 chassis, some radio gear and the box for the Mini Cooper kit recently with a view of creating a display item for my son's room but can't find a decent looking replica body.

The full kits with shells go for mega money on eBay and as I have two pretty good chassis all I need is a shell that I can paint and source stickers for but I can't seem to find a decent one.

There is a couple on eBay that are blank shells but the actual design doesn't look that close to the original Tamiya shell or like a real mini as the proportions seem a little off and I seem to have developed OCD where things like this are concerned.

So, has anyone got an old shell lurking in the garage or point me in the right direction to get hold of one at a decent price either painted or unpainted?

Cheers

Cornish
