    I like it! And thanks for the shout out, Laz!
    Red and brown sounds weird, but it really works - I have a near mint one that just sits on a shelf: it was a very clever bit of work, and you can see the Towns razor-edge styling clearly in it. Similarities with the Aston Martin Lagonda are very evident. Nice job!

    The Minissima was a concept car designed by William Towns that was never produced due to high production costs and other design flaws. The Minissima was based on the Mini

      wrong the design was sold to BL who in turn sold the rights to elswick bicycles who re designed the interior for disabled drivers and was in production from 81-87 as the Elswick Envoy

    looks as new again, and the details add a lot. :)
    I don't think they sold many of this casting. to a kid it doesn't look like anything, it's just a silly prototype... but seems there is an important history to it. one only we grown-ups care about. :)
