How to get a new Milano roadster body?

Here is Simon Black's JWF Milano at Speedweek this year.
So far this car has run 175mph in licence passes for Simon and Wayne Gower.
This year the team had a slight issue with a broken valve spring, then a lean out that burnt the 4 rear plugs so they returned home early to pull the engine. "There's always next year" says Simon. With a new belly pan, rear diffuser and a driver dome they are hoping to top the 205mph set by former Nagari man, Mike Davidson in this car. They'll also install an air dam under the front for next year, to push the air around the front wheels.
Simon would like to find a new body for the Milano. They could take a mould from the existing body but it is too modified. Simon wants to start with an original body again. I know that more than one body mould exists including one in South Australia. Does anyone know of a JWF Milano body mould? Failing that, is there anyone out there with a bare body that they would be willing to allow a mould to be taken from?

Not a bad line-up.

13 Bollies, 1 Hunter, 1 GT40.

Some great shots from Kristin.

...and it's good to see Dino's got his name tag on. He won't get lost that way.

Albany 3

Even more.
Worth the wait to see the Harmercar. Not showing any bias but looks a walk up start for the concours. Just saying. And Chris, the GT40's looking good.

Just rolling the car out for Jason's acquaintance with it.
If you squint your eyes a bit you could imagine it being the Bolly Mk.X.

.....and still they come. Even the Bedford made it.

Nullarbor News

Heard from Peter that he and Rick had made it to Norseman without incident and despite heavy rain and wind, the Mk.7 was still looking rather pristine. Later heard that they were 50K on the Albany side of Esperance. They'd be well and truly there by now.
Meanwhile here's Stacey leaving home without the little yellow car.
On Friday the orange Mark X was loaded onto a truck at Birdwood travelling directly to WA for Easter.

Just heard when looking out at the poor visibility from this front that rolled in from Antarctica, Alan Jones points out that the F1 cars don't have mudguards or windscreen wipers. It's good to get this hi-tech information first hand.
