My New Purchase
My New Purchase
Hi, I'm Paul from the UK, I had one of these in 1985 when I was 15! I foolishly sold it and have been after one again for years. Well now I have finally got one from a well known auction site and am waiting for delivery, here are some pics, I hope you like it. This is a great site, I didn't know that these cars were still so popular!
Cheers...

Welcome, by the way
This car has been a hot item on here recently, well, at least the seller has.

Just found other thread, his feedback seems ok, hopefully it was just hoax bidders before.

Re: My New Purchase
Hi, Received the car today, in great shape, needs a clean but very straight and tidy, need to get yellow paint off the wheels also. Will post pics asap. By the way I only paid £86 UK pounds for it which I think is good as there are hardly any for sale over here.

Re: My New Purchase
Are you sure those wheels are painted? The 3 piece wheels were available in flourescent yellow, kit standard on the B2 sport kit (front and rear) and the 3 piece fronts were also in the World's Car kit.
Just a FYI.

Re: My New Purchase
Hi guys, well I have been busy and got another Gold tub, this time the one I really wanted, the first version with "A" stamped chassis and the narrow front end, hope you like the pics, it all seems in good order although I have just stripped the gearbox and regreased and replaced the bushes with bearings. The chap I got it from has stripped the shell ready for a good paint scheme. Also if you see in the pics original mags with article in, I like the bodyshell on the front cover.
I have also cleaned up the CE version as shown, what do you think? The CE version will prob be up for sale to cover costs on the other! Cheers...

Re: My New Purchase
looks like you got yourself a pretty nice original gold tub there. I would drop those non period correct blue bolts on the rear axles though. Maybe you could also upload the article on the '10 in the magazine you have there in the Scan section... I agree with you on the paint scheme, it looks really nice. Keep us posted

I have two magazines from 1985 with full build articles in, Radio race car and Model Cars. I will scan them in asap.
