I saw this at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon (it is also the place that does the Heritage Certificates).
This is a model of the bodyshell of the Mini's big brother, the Austin/Morris 1100.
To get a sense of the size, you can see the two wooden doors behind the model - it is half scale.
The bodyshell was hand made by apprentices at the Longbridge factory where the Mini was built. It is extremely detailed - look at the shape of the floor and the rear bulkhead - they added all the pressings details. And they even built a front subframe. Wonder if they ever intended to complete it?
I would love to have an acccurate large scale model like this but of a Mini instead.
How much are you willing to spend? ;D

Haha. There is the rub.
I suppose I could try it myself. But it would end up looking like this. ;D
Lol. Looks made out of cardboard.
It is. But with a working template that good, why do metal?
Cardboard Minis are very realistic. ;D
