A Very Normal Looking Touring Car
Another recent acquisition, these Mondeo kits are getting harder and harder to find although JR-RC has been selling some cheap recently :-), I love the model due to the simpleness of the car. A normal looking mondeo with some BTCC livery which in all honesty is not one of my favourite schemes. Thoughts & Comments welcome, Thanks

Got one off ebay recently, used, but what a nice chassis to drive. Will it be built?

Chain Driven, I am afraid this will be staying NIB but I have a couple of FF chassis' which I do use from time to time and I agree they are beatiful to drive.

Don't underestimate the Mondeo BTCC, it was a very successful racing car!

When did you get this then?! You sly dog lol. I love these, the whole point is that they look like an ordinary road car with a few stickers thrown on, from the heyday of touring cars imo. Another great kit T.

J1MMY - Totally agree with you on that, coherent and easy to spot colour schemes seem to (sadly) be a thing of the past. It seems very rare to see something you can identify from a glance now, I guess it's partly down to finance. Although I think McLaren still have a policy that they won't take on a sponser if they don't fit in with their colour scheme (I could be wrong here).

Excellently put Goat Boy, to me BTCC and WRC cars over the last few years just don't have that 'iconic' look about them. It seems to have been a dramatic fall for WRC and BTCC over recent years, forgive my ignorance, but what the hell happened?! Not withstanding the current economic climate BTCC and WRC seemed to just go downhill fast in terms of teams competing over the past few years and now compared to ten or fifteen years ago they both seem a bit of a shambles.
