Wheeler Dealer Mini

Post by Birdman » Tue Jun 09, 2020 10:38 am

I was lucky enough to win a 1:18 Kyosho Morris Mini Cooper 1275s in a competition run by Mike Brewer, of the UK TV Show Wheeler Dealer. Mike personally signed the roof of the model. I believe this was his personal model and not one he had purchased for the competition winner, judging by the condition of the packaging. Unfortunately the front bumper/fender was damaged upon arrival. I could glue it, but would love to be able to replace it. Are spares available anywhere?

Not sure where you'll find the replacement. Now, this model has been around for a while in various trims, look from a donor car, hopefully, this are identical bumpers. Can you post a pic of the model?

PS, love the show, watch regularly!
