yes and maybe
You can get the originals here:

But I've no idea if they do/could be made to fit an MK.
Alternatively you could follow Ron's instructions in the book and make your own buck, mold and nosecone.

I had to look twice at that body shell it looks exactly like mine... thought the missus was selling it off behind my back!!!!
Are there any shiny Duttons in the world?

You won't see many at the shows - for some unknown reason most dutton owners take it apon themselves to hand paint their cars with a 5"
wallpaper paste brush (the hand painted union jack looked a stunner at westpoint)
Throw in some letterboxes glued in the slightly open position for some 'side vents' and your laughing.....
Oh well, these will have to do...
