Mini Firebird race frame.

im really not sure how many of these were made, in the original adverts it describes the Mini Firebird in November 83, then in December 83 / January 84 they show a picture of the Mini and it has a twin top tube.
This Frame set has been given to me by Neil Park, his a Father was Dave Park - dp, Neil didn't even know what the frame was. He thinks it may have even been prototype. When i got it the frame had a few decals fitted from a GL plus set, so it may have never had the correct decals fitted at any time.

it has never been built up, its in great condition. not bad for being 26 years old. i now only have a few more known frame sets to get and then i'll have a complete collection.

anyway, here it is.

cheers steve

Who would be dumb enough to ruin a NOS chrome frameset by building it and over-tightening the wheel nuts??? $:-\$

Answers on a postcard, please...
