Very confusing site! Is it related to ZCars or not? If not, how does he get away with putting their pics and name on his site?
No prices, delivery, details.
I would fancy doing a plastic mini like that (a la FRA Mini, if anyone has seen them?)

FRA got bought out (though there were claims their moulds needed a lot of work).
This one looks like the Stuart and Arden (originally made by Hawk) moulds have been found again - they were owned by a company that went bankrupt,
can't remember the name right now.
Always wanted one, but the manufacturers all seem to get nailed by BMW lawyers as soon as they pop up.
I think the Z-cars thing is more about a collaboration rather than trying to knick the name.

Looks like he's made the grp mini and all refs to the Z cars one is just showing a Z cars conversion using his body, I'm usually wrong
though............

The name you are looking for is Rally Sport Replicas who were/are in Naseby Northants and as far as I know they still have the Hawk moulds for the
standard shell and the Stewart and Arden one....BUT they were not very good moulds and had a lot of filler in the shell before they went out.

I went to Z cars a few months ago and they have a fibreglass company in another unit making the bodies for z cars I think it's the same
company.
The red sprint is the car chris is racing this season.
Zcars also have a brand new rolling road!!!
so if anyone is up our way pop along and go see,
When I was last there they were building a road legal full size version on a bat mobile it looked great.

Love is like a snowmobile, speeding across the frozen tundra.
Which suddenly flips, pinning you underneath.

The's the company. 99% sure they went bust, something to do with them having Banham moulds which were under a legal cloud.
