These Jap minis all look shorter, like they've had a chopped roof. Or is it just me?

Yup, Sprints. They have a chopped roof and more raked windshield and a strip cut out of the body between the top of the arch and the crease line. This is my ultimate goal for my mini Big Grin

If anyone builds one, please use a mk2/3 shell, rather than a rarer mk1 shell.

Ed, that is a mkIII Wink plus they're pretty rare as well right? Though a booted sprint sounds interesting...
