Re: I couldn't believe it!
Shouldn't those wheels be body colour?
And the back wheels have too much camber - it'll handle like a pig (appologies to any Sylvanian pigs out there).

Older and more confused than I could ever imagine possible.

Re: I couldn't believe it!
I do like the 'woody' effect on the doors, have some spare 3" X 2" in the shed, might do a bit of fetling tomorrow and fit as shown to mine.

Got my four year old a white one for her birthday last month Hope they're paying a royalty for use of the design to Shanghai Automotive...

Re: I couldn't believe it!
I couldn't believe they got the Morris Minor so wrong!
There were no 4-door convertibles made and certainly none with traveller type wood!!!

Re: I couldn't believe it!
There is one down south (uk) though, but I guess that isn't to everyone's liking as it wasn't like that when it left the factory.There were no 4-door convertibles made
As for the wooden doors - there was a 4 door traveller made with wooden framed rear doors. It was a one off for some toff/aristocracy as that's what she wanted. That one is probably 'ok' to the blazer brigade as it was a factory conversion.
I've seen the 4dr drophead and the 4dr trav at national rallies. Sorry no pics - well before getting a digital camera.
