I wish Tamiya had made these as RC's

Instead of all that messing around with 'faceless' saloons and the like. They could have turned out a car with real character...

I agree with you 110%[]

spice has got an ABC version in this showroom

I am also getting the chance to drive the real thing for 2 hours round Silverstone in the summer[], can't wait[]

I definately think Tamiya need to bring out some more realistic cars. Like the Pajero Metaltop and Jeep wrangler. It's only competative competition cars and realistic cars that serious people are into. When you look at all the cars that are most popular to collect they are always the realistic ones that fetch most money.

Or is this because only the old ones are realistic?

Make one R/C. A chassis is pretty easy to make. A little Fiberglass here and little aluminum there. Find some drivetrain bits that will work a volia you have a neat R/C car.

If Tamiya made an r/c version of this, put me at the front of the queue. I want one....or 2.... or 3

Hi,

make that another one for me to !

I got married in an original '63 Super 7 with Cosworth tuned engine : 126 Bhp for only 1400 ccm³. Man the noise . . . . !! people thought it had a 5 litre engine.

Does somebody know where I can find the ABC version ?

greetings

Koen

re the Super Seven, you could saw the roof off a holiday buggy - wouldn't look that much different (if you squint, thru fog)[]

Never saw, drill or modify a holiday buggy body, or the president of the "save the Holiday Buggies Organisation" will personally hunt you down... LOL[][]

Amen to that brother. Now if I had only saved mine.

Some fella (I believe Japanese) some yrs back handbuilt a 1/10 Lotus Seven for RC with a laydown OS12 really under the hood and exhaust coming out the side. Most of the suspension parts were commercial bits, with a handmade body/chassis.

I would think the pix would still be on the net somewhere.
