C007 Mini Cooper Green #5 (Type 3 with RX motor)


I assembled this rare type 3 C007 Mini, with original RX motor from a couple of different scrapyards, one of which had a couple of complete but non-running chassis and the other some bodies in various states of disrepair. This body was the pick of the bunch, although both rear quarter panels had been severely cut and needed to be reconstructed with resin, using one-side moulds made from an intact Mini. It was origainlly yellow, but decided to repaint it green as it needed a repaint anyway after the repairs, and I already had a green version. Of copurse, as luck would have it, I came across some more Mini bodies in better condition recently, one of which is green - oh well. After a few machanical repiars as well, it now actually runs quite well, better than the later models I think, due to the heavier RX motor stopping it from tipping as much through the corners.
