In case anybody is still interested, the Mini Van model kit bodies are still available. I just finished making an Authi van for myself. With a little bit of work, you could make it into a Estate, Woody....,

thanks Malcolm. I am thinking about making an Authi van in Willow Green similar to the ones used by BMC.

One day I hope to have the 1:1 to ply with,

Another, similar one showed up in my emails not too long ago. Another one to make me jealous of talent others have. Mark B., the only other owner I'm aware of who owns a South African Mk 3 in North America, used a Vitesse Hornet (1/43) and came up with the only model Mk 3 I'm aware of.

Nice work Abel.

I think it’s plastic, made in China, has a S with some lines in front for a name. was painted to match the PO,s mini

that's cool too. Is that one a diecast or RC car?,
cheers,
Abel

Really nice looking. My avatar is a 1/16 scale model 

Hello all,
first of all, my apologies for such an off topic. Second, as I know there are some avid modelers on this site, I wanted to let you know that I transformed a Tamiya Austin Mini into a Mini Van. I decided to make a few resin copies of the body (no floor pan) in case anybody is interested. The bodies have a light coat of Krylon grey for better adhesion and will need to be finished (there are some imperfections, specially on one of the rear arches, and tiny bubbles from casting the resin). You will find everything to complete this van on the Tamiya kit.
Please, email me if you would like to get one of these (options include either wavy or steel grille, reverse rims with or without hubcaps, rear bumpers)
cheers,
Abel
