The bad news is that it's quite poorly cut, with jagged edges everywhere, and it has been painted on the outside...
Not sure if it could be used to make a mould from, but I'm willing to let Keith try if I get a good deal on some replacements!
This is a LWB shell for the meteor. It looks very similar to the cobra shell, but notice the bulges around the steering. A lot of people just used cobra shells for their meteors, but this was the correct one for the long wheel base gold chassis.




This picture is from an aricle about getting the meteor to be a competative buggy with all the period hop ups.
