Ayk buffalo

Great car. Have a story about one of these that still hurts me to think about it. My dad bought one of these for the grand sum of twenty five pounds from a little shop in Eastbourne when i was about ten. That would be twenty odd years ago. The guy had hundreds of them bobcats and buffalos, but because parts were scarce for fixing, no one wanted them.
Anyhow, my dad spent a load of time doing the body in stars and stripes livery and then only ran it twice before the pinion stripped the gearing in the rear diff. He tried loads fixing it but could never get it to run correctly after that and it ended up back in the box and in the attic. Anyhow, I got back into my cars again this year at the age of 33 and went back to my parents to see if i could salvage any of the old parts my dad had, knowing full well he had this AYK Buffalo that had only been run twice and that I would be able to take it off his hands:)
When I asked after it, he had only thrown it in the recycling about two months previous to my asking for it!!! GUTTED was one of the polite words I could use for roughly how I was feeling when he told me this. I darent break his heart by telling him how much they sell for also!!:)

I am real tempted to get another one and give the bike to my dad to do another Rossi paintscheme with. Maybe the Nastro Azzurro livery!! Wouldnt matter too much if that one got damaged as it is a fairly basic scheme

Project stratos part ii
Blacque Jacque
Nice car!! I am a huge Lancia fan myself and always loved the Stratos. Nice choice for the Prototype version also. My Lime green isnt quite right and so I may try to spray another colour in mine to try to get it closer to the original. Will look forward to seeing the finished article:). Any idea on what wheels you will use??

Was this listing on Ebay?? If so, I think they may have pulled it as I couldnt see it. Sorry for your hassle....unfortunately, as with everything, it is the minority that ruin it for the majority. This rings true with Ebay where I have never had anything but good dealings with Tamiyaclub members

Lancia 037 - one of the coolest rallye car's

The last photos is excellent. On the inside of the bend is a great place to get cool action shots. Par the body posts, you would be hard pushed to that this wasnt a real car

And now for something completely different
ciadelta16
I was actually thinking chrome wheels would suit it more than yellow. Thanks for the kind comments. Has lasted well considering it has sat untouched for the last twenty years. I will probably reshell it for bashing and keep the stars/stripes body for shelf. As Tuff Bug states, it has lasted this long and would not be fair to trash the body now!!

Lancia delta hf integrale evoluzione 3
_miga_
In theory there never was an EVO3. I know that when the Evo2 was released it had a 16v setup. But due to Swiss regulations, the 16v engine would not pass emissions and so not be deemed legal in this country. So to get past this, Lancia released the EVO2 with an 8v engine, taken straight out of the EVO1. I believe that these were the cars that were referred to as EVO3's. But they never really existed if you seee what I mean:). To really confuse matters more, Lancia also produced a couple of 16v EVO1's

Some people also refer to the last gen EVO2's as EVO3's maybe to cash in,I dont know!! In germany, they also refer to the last gen EVO2's as EVO3 'Sedici'. But they are EVO2's:)

Something else
Jorisschulte
I reckon you ought to do this as a Final Edition Lancia. Red with the single yellow and blue stripe up and over the car and then the Anthracite Evo wheels. A lot of Deltas are Red/Black/White/yellow and I am really surprised that not many people shy away from those options when doing these cars. I think also that these look good as white cars, but if you decide to do that then I would advise just buying a finished body and taking the decals off, then do something special with this body.
In reference to the Gunmetal as standard or not?? These 037 alloys are very similar to the Delta HF integrale alloys which were gunmetal as standard. When the Evo1/2 was released, the alloys were changed to the multispoke which are the ones supplied with the Tamiya kit as standard. These were always basic alloy and were only given the gunmetal flavour with the Final Edition Evo2. Sorry. . . . .I am drivling on!!!:) Go with the Final edition. . . Do It. Stripes are simple enough and the car is red in variation plus darker Anthracite wheels. If you dont them I will
