I'm really sorry Spitfire, but I went over my mum's at the weekend on a mission for Holiday buggy bits & to retrieve that light bar, but unfortunately I found a box with the rest of the shell in it (Thought it was long gone!), so I've decided to hang onto it for future restoration. You can blame Edou, it's his fault, making me drool over FRP & circuit cars & giving me project ideas... BAD Edou!
Got FRP sheet, a body, need wheels & foam tyres now....

This is the result of being mounted on a Monster Beetle, mixed with a jug of water on the lino kitchen floor...

Cool to see you've found it after all those years.
Looks like it's in a bad shape, but have fun restoring it.

Hope i'll find myself a lightbar somewhere.

I was convinced it was long gone, last time I saw it was 1992!
Will a re-re lightbar fit? - there's currently 2x new body kits on Ebay UK.
I've just invested in some moulding gear, so if you get really stuck for one, maybe I'll have a go at copying mine....

A rere would fit yes, but i'm not going to buy a complete body set just for one piece

Exploded view:


Clean:


Today i've received his brother, (only the chassis, already had the repro body)

The shape of these cars is just brutal.
Exposure to them could be a dangerous area...

Looks like there's a Technigold and a black end silvercan inside.

(Lol 'cause I had it all wrong on the Dutch forum...)

The chassis':

Cor, that brings back some memories! Gutted I scrapped mine, hindsight eh....

Looks like that diff gear set is a genuine spare part.
Although in the manual the car is completely direct drive...
