| description | I've won concours!
I found this GORGEOUS Mini Traveller bodyshell on Ebay, and deliberately left it unpainted to see the beautiful chassis below. The wood effect is sticky fablon and I've cut and shaped it as per real wooden fixtures. The chrome is adapted from a standard M01 Rover Cooper. The rear bumper is actually a front one. I love it to bits.
All Minis have a name, and this is called 'Rucksack Queen' because I took it on holiday all the way from the UK to Mini Meet East show in the USA, very carefully packed in a backpack! That's where I won a prize for 'best model Mini'.
Edit 2006 - Put into storage because the original Moss Green chassis was more appropriate for Mokie.
Edit November 2007 - new M03 chassis. 53280 gold super low friction dampers, gold cable ties, Eagle front foam bumper, brass body clips, brass undertray I made myself. M-chassis sized wheels are from an Ebay seller.

That looks pukka. I actually own a morris minor traveller 1000 and it actually resembles it strongly. good buy mate
OOOOO can't wait to see the new chassis
This is one sexy car. Far better in real life. Makes my carbon M-01 look lame.
Never seen that shell before and I LOVE it! And that chassis, niiice!
This shell is soooooooooo cool, my mate had a mini van in british racing green with white stripes over the bonnet, Top find.
