3 Originals to restore

Recommended Posts

I’ve been hinting to my older brother for years that he should stick his head in the loft and dust off those old cars for me. Today a surprise package turned up. He’s 6 years older at 44 and no interest, so he’s finally Let me have the cars I wasn’t allowed anywhere near as an 8/9 year old annoying brother. 
 

The plan is to restore and not run them. I’ve been looking for a project like this for a while and this is more than I could have asked for. 
 

The Grasshopper II runs and steers, not sure if anything is broken until I start to strip it. 
 

Bear Hawks (the one I was really after) runs and won’t stop, even the on/off switch doesn’t stop it. The radio has corrosion on the points.

The astute has steering and suspension issues but runs and steers.

They all came with Techniplus radios.

I will update this page (For anyone that’s interested) with my progress, it’s going to be a Journey! 
 

To say I had a smile on my face when I opened the box is an understatement. My brother lives in Scotland and I am in England, don’t see him much! He will be getting something nice in the post back!
