Phil an I went to the Country Festival at Stoneliegh (where we took the photo's of Bigfoot an Maine) as we was walking round the model area with Mark, Lisa and Matthew Wynn Smith, we spotted a scratch built display of the three minis (classic) out of the Italian Job. They had a sign saying for sale make me an offer. Phil was straight in with "how about £10?. The chap who was selling them wasn't there at the time, but his friend said "he wants a lot more then that!". After a while he turned up an Phil got down to some serious haggling. In the end £60 was agreed on an Phil bought them. The chap who built them was called Mark Reaves, and I must say they are fantastic. The minis are based on the deleted scene on the ice ring.
Take a look.



Phil asked Mark if he could sign it aswell, Mark was well chuffed it was the first time anyone has asked for his autograph.
