I purchased this several months back on evilbay for not such a bad price considering its a SWB.
Once it arrived I really couldnt beieve in what great condition it was in.... Don't get me wrong it was not perfect by any means, just that all 4 tyres looked almost new, hardly a mark/scratch on it - including the underside.
However I have replaced all eletrics, stripped it down and restored it back to as if it were brand new.
All in all I am extremely pleased with it. And yes I will be mending the broken grill and I did get the original winch with it too. This should'nt take me too long to fix as I have previously carried ou the very same job on my two other M38's (LWB) models I have in my ever expanding Tamiya collection. At my last count I think it was 61 Tamiya rc cars - with 90% being vintage examples. Then of course I have my Kyosho bikes and cars, Anderson and Graupners to add to the 61 Tamiya's...........
Anyhow, I do hope you enjoy these pics and a big Hello to anyone I have not yet spoken with.
