        Are these manufactured using the old pressings?

                Rumours years ago were that the pressings were broken up at the end of the Mk2 production, a theory which does make sense as the then new models (Mk3) had become the future! Probably the reason why pressings have not turned up until 36 years later!

                  Pressing were destroyed years ago.

                  Shells were constructed from the set of panels that was advertised in Germany and copied IIRC.

                      It would be advantageous and only fair to get a thorough product analysis before anyone can pass judgement!

                        I thought yagmar (rain speed) on here purchased them?
                        John oldskool racer from Ireland had funded these shells?

                          These are available in NI and I believe a full shell is 7K.
                          They also do every bit of the shell individually.
                          Haven't seen them other than in pictures.
                          I also heard that Mk1 Mini shells are now also available but haven't seen them either.
