your cube looks fantastic! I remember a sweet mini from the mid 90s in mint green but can't find a pic right now, this one is pretty sweet though This the one your thinking of? Its the one I instantly thought of? Wasn't that one I was thinking of, although that is pretty sweet itself It was all de-seamed and curvy, I may still have the poster / page from the magazine feature as I used to have it on my bedroom wall and I kept a lot of the old posters and flyers - I'll rummage round in the loft at some point

I'm so happy this Renown was built. It was built for me by Power & Performance in Norwich, and is a great car, but since I sold it a few years ago it doesn't seem to have lived a great life. It's hung about in dealers garages and even went to Jersey, only to come back when it was too modified to be registered there. I also preferred the look when we had the bonnet sides on. Bob.

I guess it's a difficult car to sell, not many people even know what a Renown is and this one is even more special than the standard ones. Money no object I'd definitely make every effort to acquire this car and keep it looking just as it does on the outside right down to the colour, it's not exactly how I'd build it from scratch but it's so right as a complete article it should be kept as it is.
One day I hope to at least see it in person, I've only ever seen pictures of it.

Very nice colour minty green, suits smaller cars. However that volvo is something else.... perfect.

I was going to paint my Chevanne project mint green in the mid 90's, but life got in the way and it never got finished, would have been nice too, I fitted a 2.3 Firenza engine, manta alloys de locked a handled, I didget the engine bay painted mint green though.

In the 90s I built a peppermint green Beetle roadster. I loved that car, even if it was rotten as a pear underneath!

Heading more towards a sage green than a minty green, but a worthy mention for this 2 door Ovlov with rear window louvres. I think I just had a trouser accident!
