Very nice!
But I would consider it a "Late" Team Car with that "World's" style chassis?
Looks 100% complete, be sure to address the rear arm mounts installed on the wrong sides :wink:

As far as I can tell this is a new built car which has never been finished all the extra parts are there, and only the wing is missing.

Interestingly the arm mounts and hub carriers are flip flopped by mistake.
Also there are no servo mount hole in this chassis, and the older CE rear bulkhead instead of the worlds style which would be expected on this car.
The rear arms are of the later kind with cross bracing and shorter hinge pins.

I think I was really lucky to find this, the seller on the east coast posted it on ebay during a time of day where most normal Americans would be asleep. It was a "buy it now" and it would have been way more expensive at auction. :D

In my opinion you nearly stole this car for the price that you paid. It is a beauty!
Something clever goes here...
