Retractable lap belts ... reel in bin, other part of seat belt - as pic in centre of seat

Thank you ....the second album is always a tricky one :) ( lots of one hit wonders out there , especially in the 80’s)... let’s hope this lives up to ERA

WOW! The finish line is in sight Mr Longtimenomini!!! ?

All the white painted parts in the engine look very good. Liking the attention to detail. Tax disc matching the green stripe is another nice touch.

This has to feature in Miniworld or Mini Magazine!!!

Arches? Split rims?

Wheels, wheels, wheels, arches, arches , arches................ the months , nay, years of arguments / discussions have come to a head. The final decision will be revealed soon . Some may like, some may not ( and that’s just my household!)
