I don't know. Only what I know, is that the motor is stamped: VECO 19.
It looks like an airplane motor with a very big "fly wheele". It looks like a hand made car full aloy. Sponge tires are dry but in very good condition.
I have no docs of mardave and I knew this trade with tamiyabase :blush:

My thoughts exactly. The radio box looks a bit Mardave too.
My guess would be a home-made job with Mardave bits, although the factory Mardave cars can look a bit home-made :whistle:

:) It looks like home made but it is a factory made. Thanks for the info. Do you have some idea of the date of the made?

My best guess would be late 70's.

Edit: Look here
Looks kinda similar:

Scratch that - it's early 70's
Mardave Alfa

More edits: If you read the PDF, you will see that it mentions the "1/8th scale version of the Matra-Simca MS120 Formula 1 racer", which is even earlier and was the first R/C car in the UK market. I reckon that is what you have there. Probably very rare and historic.

;) It looks very similar. Maybe is it a variation of the PDF.
Thanks a lot Martin
