Original Mk1 Mini Stock Car, cleaned up and set up as per original cars, body shell is very basic with no bonnet scoop, no wheel arches or spoiler above the back window, also quite fragile with the plastic definitely thinner than a Mk2, grey bumpers were supplied uncut so have left the front copies looking as they came. Might change the window mesh used as since restoring found a roll of much more authentic looking 5mm mesh. (Click to enlarge images) Lewis 21/10/2023.

A Mini Mk2 themed on a black & white magazine ad of the Mk1, I asked around and heard the box-art may of been in British Racing Green, could have been darkish blue also!

MARK 3 from Pete T
This is my Mardave Mini Racer. I've nearly finished restoring the car using all new old stock still sealed parts its just the bodyshell that needs finishing or replacing, the shell had the whole front grill and bumper missing so I had to make some pieces to fit. I think its looking ok for a shell that was ready for the bin at one point. I have the original decals and manual so I'm going to box art the shell.

This is my Mardave Mini Stock, I was so impressed with my wife's I wanted to paint one to match hers, I went for a back coat of red with red glitter on top, If I'm honest I think my wife's looks better tho !
I've also fitted a roll bar and a driver to give it a more realistic look. It's complete and ready to run to.

This is my wife's Mardave Mini Stock, the colour scheme was picked by her and is a purple back coat covered in purple glitter, the pictures don't really do the paint job justice, it really shines when its in the light she fitted a roll bar with fire extinguishers and a custom cut down cockpit to give it a more realistic look. It's complete and ready to run.

FITTED WITH A SINGLE AXLE TRUCK SHELL (BY PETE T)
This is my stripped down Mini Stock mark 1 chassis with a truck shell I got in a job lot of parts. I've made a front body mounting plate as the long body posts tend to bend. I intend to make a trailer for this model at some point so I can have one of my mini's on it. look out for new pics as the build gets underway.
