So AE posted this on Facebook: We are attending The SEMA Show this year and using that as the starting point for the pending 60th Anniversary of Associated Electrics (1964) and 40th Anniversary of the RC10 (1984)! To pay homage to the RC10, we decided to make a special display piece, and since we kn...

That is a fantastic build! Very sharp looking buggy! Nice to see the little lights on it too.
