Title: Factory body molds
Post by: Chuck Nukem on Tuesday,May 26, 2020, 09:19:31 AM

I seem to recall that a number of years ago someone posted a for sale ad with pics for decommissioned factory Europa molds. Does anyone have pictures in their catalog of the factory molds? I'm asking for a friend...

Thanks SilverBeast. Those are great! The ad I was thinking about had a Europa with a bunch of little triangles cut in it, but these give great inspiration.

Boss Motors near Snetterton race track quoted me £140 to make up a luggage box yesterday.

They are still active. Contact via Facebook.
