It looks like you have one of the disabled persons cars there with the plain door trims and sliding/folding seats. Does it only have one sun visor as well?


Too many Minors so little time.....

Good spot David! :D It certainly looks as if it's a disabled car, and looks as though there is just one visor if you look closely at the interior pic in the first post. Might also explain why the indicator switch is on the left rather than the right.

Josh - take a look at this thread: http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=7620

It seems that there are quite a few trafalgar blue G reg disabled cars about so it would be a shame to get rid of the unique features such as the plain door panels.

Looks an interesting little project. What is the lack of ignition slot for? :P
Does anyone know why disabled cars would have a plain trim. Thats just mean :lol:
