Recommended Posts

 I got a basherbody.

 

Sadly i had to drill new holes and the previous owner did cut the wheelarches not the right way....1638556435341106876751.thumb.jpg.4038eb31e8c53ee21ccbc7af0f7179ad.jpgķ1638556472899-80455893.thumb.jpg.541b0edbf2dc89bb8220237e03ed4045.jpg1638556472899-80455893.thumb.jpg.541b0edbf2dc89bb8220237e03ed4045.jpg

If they are re-releasing the Renault 5, I’m getting one this time.

I’ll sort out the chassis and making it look good once I’ve got one. I was gutted to miss out last time and I’ll never get my hands on a vintage one. It’s a shame they don’t redo those early pan chassis’s.

Just seen this thread: as i know nothing about Tamiya models and chassis classification after the very early '90s, I never knew they released another R5 Turbo after the vintage one, let alone in FWD...that's just madness:wacko: And from the above posts it seems the same happened with the Alpine A110:rolleyes:

I'm passionate about classic cars and those two are among my (and surely others') all time favourites...I think that because of their racing careers, intrinsic beauty/exotic appearance, supercar-for-the road status, they fully deserved a "Porsche 959" treatment: a bespoke chassis suitable for some mild off-road running...they would have sold by the bucket load, IMHO
