Hi Gents
Picked this lovely original car up from SBBSVEN in a club trade last week. Sven was great to deal with and it arrived very well packed from Germany. Sven tells me it was built by his school friends Dad in 1978, acquired by himself in 1999, sat in loft for years and then last year he decided to give it a clean and polish the chassis which looks fabulous.
Shell is extremely detailed and delicate with so many rubberised/plastic body trim parts, all present and correct. Really interesting how these are all attached to the shell via pins and holes in the shell. Mechanism for holding the shell to the chassis via 2 spring bars is interesting but extremely annoying
Car came with an original manual, some spare body part trees and a NIP gear set so very happy.
Decals are original but showing their age a bit with some fading. I have given the shell a polish with cotton buds so as not to touch and fade the decals any further- its come up a treat.
Hope you like.

It does look great, perhaps some decals will come up in the future for a perfect restoration look.

Hi Sven, yes very happy thanks fella - Car sits really well on my desk with my other cars in my office. This car looks fab from every angle. I have a Tyrrell (No.3) also that I haven't posted yet so just need No.2! Thanks Crash and Dan- new decals would be nice.

Well played Doc, it looks 1st class. You might find it distracting having it on display in your office though!

Hi Mate, yes I know, not much work getting done here again LOL. Saw a real life one of these on a Motorway a few months back in Green - Gorgeous looking thing
