AWESOME :!: 8) 200 Pounds back then... not the most affordable buggy back then, that is for sure :mrgreen:

Have you noticed the rear shock tower on the black one? Did RPM make those? I've never seen one...

Also interesting that it didn't include the Hydra Drive.. Then the De-facto add-on for 2WD buggies.. it added another £35 I think, then you needed a gear cover!! Lovely car though..

it is definitely not needed, but it's the only chassis that can accept it... the Composite Craft MUST use the 10T front bulkhead (for attaching the top deck to the bront barce) and so does any tub converted to "world's" specs because of the nosetubes... and the ad you scanned do mention the front bulkhead already, as an option to increase durability... Even the previous front conversion kit included a 10T front bulkhead. A rare item nowadays, definitely!

PS: is there a way to enlarge just a bit the pics? It is not easily readable, even with a pretty big screen... I also think it could be cool to stick with the double page layout so that the pic is not cut out, just a suggestion, thanks for sharing 8)

what's the problem with that? I've acquired most of my buggies like that, gotta love Belgian beers :lol: :lol:

Don't take it bad, it's just that I almost lost my eyes reading it :? but hell, this is probably my favorite scan here, thanks for sharing 8)

I didn't know that there were other options other than RPM, hadn't heard of thor (till I came here).
