you got to admire the effort that goes into such things, mind.

as it goes, it looks quite a tidy lightweight. Did lightweights get the
SIII style dash panel, or did they stick with the SIIA kind as pictured?

Looks a nice enough lightweight, but jeez .. why would anyone do that unless
they worked for ToysRus or for Action Man distributors (whoever they are).

Stickers and fake missiles, I mean ... At least it'd draw a crowd, though I
guess they'd be ****in' themselves ..

Oh, come on Mark - where's your sense of adventure?????????
BTW, cage doesn't look as if it extended down to chassis, except rearmost
hoop. Front screen one certainly only connected to screen frame hinge on
bulkhead. Did look clean, though.

For Austin, they all had the early style dash as far as I remember. I may be
wrong though... (Puts on teflon raincoat in readiness for almost certain
onslaught of comments from lightweight owners club etc.)

from the ones i have seen, they all have the series 2 center panel -
or something very close looking to it.

The series 3 lightweights got the series 3 steering columns i think
(with ignition on the column). They definately have the plastic casing
round the column, whereas the older ones are bare in the series 2/2A
style.

I guess the missiles could prevent a few carpark rage incidents ever
occuring......

not that I'm tempted you understand.... what do you reckon was used for the
nose cone ... er ... incase the kids would like to make some.....rigged up
to a propane tank and piezo lighter with a fan fitted in the centre...

Can you imagine seeing one drop off if you were up it's arse end ....
