I know they're Morris Minors but do they have to be that small ?

Come on Frosty, put some decent pictures of Trevs cars up, or at least some decent links Very Happy Very Happy .

I'd do it, but as you can see it don't work too good when enlarging those little pics Mad :

Hey scott you could have made the van look shiny in photoshop, My 11 & 12 yr old girls rubbed it back & under coated it on a windy august day, before I blew some free acrylic over it to make it one colour for the great ocean rd-ceduna trip, I'd run out of time as I bought it with the front written off, & in 3 colours.
The girls tryed to buff it up, but I had to fix all the rub throughs after they went out.

Trev,
Nice fleet you have there. It seems that folks that like Morries end up owning a few of them.

Scott, I would KILL to have your van. I know you say it's rusty and all, but that thing is too cool. A lowlight ANYTHING here is exceedingly rare, but that van is unobtainium...

Who said it was rusty Mad?? There's no rust in the body (apart from the bottom of the N/S door). It just looks awful Very Happy .

I know, I was basically joking. Especially rare are the 1 pc windscreen lowlight vans. They MUST exist because Scott has one Shocked Shocked

I do like his van a lot, though...

You just had to spoil it, Russ.

You wouldn't believe how many old timers say they knew of lowlight vans like mine Eye Rolls .

Mind you, in your new book there's a line up of vans with a lowlight in the middle Shocked .
