Redbird conversion by REDBIRD (Ficraft) Valiant Works

"transform the visual impact of your MIni with a Redbird Conversion"

I do have an advertisement with  a drawing of the car.

That's the one yes.
To complete your answers, when does it date from?
That will earn you your point but do you know who was said to be responsible for designing it (rather than manufacturing it)?

the advertisement clipping came from my scrapbook, made around the mid-seventies.


I don't know the designer.

Yes, it was from 1976.
I didn't know who made it as the only name I had was the designer, said to have been ex Austin/Morris stylist Ed Pepall.
1 point for you; well done.
