Information March 782 and Martini Mk 22 and Countach LP500S

[The Rasc 1]

First post so unsure if this is the correct discusion / board.

Picked up a 'job lot' locally consisting of a BMW March 782, Renault Martini MK22 and a Countach LP500S.

The Countach is fully built and in a bit of a mess, the Renault partially built and has paint applied to the driver body only, the BMW is pretty much untouched. Purchsed these with a view to either complete / restore etc so looking for any pointers towards history, ideas, spares availability  (other thatn the Countach the the kits look complete) what they may be worth (if anything) etc.

Thanks

Welcome to the club.

Nice find there.

The F2 cars are probably my favorite kits from Tamiya, and i have a few of them.

I love the simplicity of the body shells, but when done right, they can look great.

As for spares. good luck finding them. If you are missing parts, you will be hard pushed to find any.

Thanks J, I have stripped everything that was part built down to component level.  Next job will be to inventory it all or maybe just start a build and see what’s missing!

Judging from the photo, it seems that the contents of the F1 boxes are a bit mixed up (BMW body in the Renault box) so keep an eye on where what goes ... so that you don't end up with "why do I have some extra pieces leftover?"

Yeah, that was the sellers pic. I think it was the wrong lid on the parts box. No lid on the BMW one when received
