Any vintage F1 experts out there?

Received a parcel today expecting it to be full of junk parts however upon opening it i found a load of vintage F1 chassis parts! I've done some investigative work based upon the parts found & have pretty much established they could have really only come from 2 models - 58010 &58012. Can anyone with some actual knowledge on these cars corroborate my (somewhat iffy) investigative work?

58031	Wrong colour side wing, no rear cover.
58020	Wrong colour side wing, no rear cover.
58019	Wrong colour side wing (green) no wing mirrors.
58017	Wrong colour side wing, no rear cover.
58012	Correct wheels, rear cover, wing mirror + side wings.
58011	Wrong rear cover, Wrong wing mirrors.
58010	Correct wheels, rear cover, wing mirror + side wings.
58003	Wrong wheels, wrong rear cover.

I have a number of these cars, but am far from an expert. I suspect parts are from two or more cars. That gearbox only matches 58031 as far as I can tell and the rear plate (which was used on about 3 cars ) doesn't seem to match any with that type of gearbox. Unless the gearbox was bought as an upgrade. But the rear plate and gearbox I think are the key to working it out, the rest at common across many cars.

Nice work on getting some mirrors too, just about every car I come across (used that is) never has the mirrors.

Superb, thanks for the info. At least i feel a bit more confident about what I'm dealing with now

Hi there. 

I don’t have a 10 but it looks a very close match for my 12. 

IIRC the 10 came wth the smaller motor, so any wear marks on the gearbox may give a clue?

Good luck!
