Nice Jaffa Mini here. Can't see any pants though! :D

I was a little concerned with this sentence though :?

'Body work done (all rust has either been replaced with a new panel or cut out!)' :shock:

Just seen this one....wished I'd thought about doing that to my 30. Mine's just a boring standard black car. :(

:shock:.  The orange one's had a lot of work but seems a little expensive for an '89 Mini...

Blue one has "Dash of the week" potential:).   ('orrible isn't it!)

:shock: £9.99 - seems a bit pricey for a not particularly durable repro item.

That's what I thought as well Simon, but I was wondering about the correctness of the lettering etc etc.

They seem a mad price to me, and you won't get any extra concours points for them either!  They'll be ruined as soon as your feet touch them too!!  

As for how correct they are?  I don't know. I never saw any.  We had piles of similar paper mats at work but they were Shell ones, given away by the petrol company.  I've never personally seen BMC ones but they may have existed.....At least they'd have been free - not £10 a pair:shock:.  I'd save your money and put some old newspaper down to protect your carpet;).

Too right Richard, that's more than I paid for some of the NOS parts for the Yellow Peril :D

I guess they could be laminated :P

Here's an idea for the MCR - How about a print run of similar items, but make them interesting (eg BMC rosette) and perhaps in that thin plastic that is used for cutting boards, would be useful in the garage, or on a wet day for a show vehicle?:cool:

That bit around the rear window deserves a something of the week award as well :shock:

Anyway, here's an interesting item with a Mini connection. :D

I'm on record as saying I quite like Clubmans (Clubmen?).  But THAT:shock::shock::shock:?

Possibly the nastiest bit of kit I've ever seen.  If it is cheap enough I might consider buying just to destroy it:cool:.
