Ive gone an bought another one, you would think I would learn. But, no, and on arrival home a coolant hose split, also it developed a knocking noise, and it looks like a cv boot needs replacing. Grr, anyway the shell is straight and will make a nice track car when its all sorted. Unfortunately the photos don't do the colour justice but it is really vibrant in the flesh.













Also with the sale I got these buckets which are faded but do the job, here being expertly modelled by Rob lee

I had an S2, im coming back to the S1 mainly based on the weight difference and general fun factor. The goodies included with this car attracted me and im hoping I can make something good out of it.

I was thinking 7? It does need decals badly. Th red in the flesh is really nice I like it. Your old car is so nice these days Kano, dont know if you keep up with it but its recently been caged.

The exhaust will be for sale shortly along with other parts.

How heavy are the wheels? I remember TD Monzas being quite weighty?

Get something lighter
