My favorite is the one with licence plate number MYF 492. Did I mention something about being slightly colour-blind? That explains the Ferrari's.

Well that's all good, but I'm really not expecting you to paint it mate, and certainly not in pink.
Firstly, because that would be unfair, since you're doing all the hard work.
Secondly because I want to scuff it up and make it look a bit rusty and knackered.
And thirdly because, with your permission, if it all comes off, it would be nice if we could take a mould and provide Leo with a version he can modify to add to his Austin collection. I have absolutely no idea how to do that, but how hard can it be? Eeeeek.

Ah...in that case, I will probably make the doors slightly less inset than planned so it can be got out of a mould. I'll need to at least prime it to see where it needs work.

I can contribute decals, reg plates, grille badges, branding and such.
Lloyd might help with casting, the 1:32 model will only be slightly larger than his preferred size.
