BMH 'New' Mk1 Mini Bodyshell at NEC
Heritage (BMH) have at last got their long awaited prototype Mk1 'lookalike' Body Shell on display with external hinges, etc.at the NEC Classic Car Show.
BMH say this shell was rushed out to get ready for the NEC show and is not finished or for sale yet.....price is not yet fixed but will be circa £10k + VAT. The new Mk1 Mini shell is mainly aimed at Historic Motorsport where sourcing early replacement Mk1 Mini shells is becoming increasingly difficult without using another 'donor' car.

I hope that they've 'remembered' to lap the sill joints the wrong way around so that it scoops water into the car when driven through deep puddles like the original!
(It does look really good however, so well done to them!) |

It might look good on your phone or laptop screen, however close up it was a real mess, the panel gaps were apalling, neither door fitted , a restored original shell would have been heavily criticised for the quality of workmanship present on this shell. For £10K plus Vat you can buy a mint restored original complete Mk1 Mini!
