A Serpent WHAT?!!!!

[tony gray(2)]

OK guys, here's a hard one for you. Ever heard of a Serpent Tenforce? Few people have I can tell you, and even a google search won't bring up much on the web apart from a couple of outdated Dutch links that go nowhere.

As it happens I already have one complete car and 95% of another but I'd like some more cars/bits, and also any printed info I can find.

So....anyone have, or know of any?

Have you tried www.mytsn.com it's a serpent forum sort of thing

Sadly I came up empty there as well. These be rare birds indeed. Even Serpent themselves have nothing left on the car,no details, nuthin.

You mean one of these

Someone who used to race at my club had one he used years ago. It ended up with a buggy gearbox in the rear as he couldn't get hold of spare belts. Would love to know what happened to it. Halfway between a pro10 and a 2wd touring car. By coincedence I came across a review of it in Model Cars magazine March 1991 the other night while looking for something else. If you're interested i could scan the review for you.

Terry I'd love a scanned copy of the review. I did have all those old magazines but stupidly got rid of them all a few years ago and now when I need stuff.....

They're certainly a rare car and it's taken me about 6 years to find one. I cant help wondering what a newer/narrower version would go like now?

Tony,

I think this may be your lucky day! http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...=06042005035338

This is my stuff. 2 car chassis', and a small handful of spares. Several belts as well. If you are interested, give me a shout. I was going to build one good one from the whole mess, but I have so many other projects, it may never happen.

Ta very much Terry. This gives me some printed material to go with the extra cars I've just bought off Scott!

I am amazed there seems to be zero old stuff on Serpents site, not even Serpent old stuff!!

I have an email from Pieter Bervoets (head man at Serpent) and they have very little 'history' stuff at all, and indeed he gave me the impression they wanted to forget about the Tenforce completely.
