Good to see you have changed your signature now! Would be interesting to see the black car with orange roof, and wheel centres tho.

The little bronze car is a Suzuki Fronte GX - a 360 cc two stroke Suzuki Car from 1972. Smaller, lighter than a Mini, I would say might go slightly quicker than a standard 1000 cc Mini, or at least feels quicker. Cool fun little car. Has a broken transaxle at the moment, must fix it. Not for sale unless there is a big offer, and... I am in New Zealand.

http://en.wikipedia....i/Suzuki_Fronte - see the second photo - shows the shape.

Here is an orange one with Black roof and Wheels (to get us back on topic slightly)

I don't think this has been asked before, I've searched a few times and not found anything.

Basically, I'm torn between two colour schemes for my car:

Black with black arches, wheels and an orange roof and orange wing mirrors.

Or

Orange with black wheels, black roof, black wing mirrors and black arches.

So if anyone is willing to help I'd like to see as many pictures of orange minis as I can before I have to make a decision.

Please, i really need to make a decision here.

Thanks guys :kiss:.



Here's our latest edition, we have just repainted it in the original Flamenco red with a black roof :)

One thing this thread proves though - there are quite a few orange Minis with black but no-one has posted a black Mini with an orange roof: dare to be different!!

I have done before, I just for the life of me can't find it anymore.

Worked out why I couldn't find it, I made it on my laptop, doh.

I hope the owner of the original image doesn't mind.

It does look good, but I'm just not sure I'd be as happy with it as I would be with the orange with black.
