The Hartley Mask is what I have found available up till now on ebay etc. I have never seen a Lucas sidelight mask for sale, that would be an interesting find.

Rootes75 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 My Minx needs a respray and the door bottoms are bubbling. She is already grey so I am starring to think about re-creating a wartine Royal Navy staff car like one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rootes75 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 All these lovely pics are really making me think about what respray we should give our 47 Minx. I have put off her external 'refit' for a number of years now, all the usual, door bottoms bubbling, rust flecks here and there so she needs a respray. She was painted grey before I bought her 15 years back but originally she was black which can be seen if you take the door cards off.

Similar to the utility but whereas this grill mesh is 'square' pattern I recall the utility being made up of 'diamond' pattern.
