Very interesting photos - I can see the prototype CAT has three piece wheels, a different brace for the rear suspension on the back of the gearbox ....

Thanks for sharing that. Looks interesting, would be nice to see some better larger pics of it.

Here is a pic from the Schumacher site of a prototype SWB. Obviously a later prototype, closer to the actual production model.



I've got an old Radio Race Car mag with some prototype pics and info in it, of the car I posted the pic of. Will have to see if I can dig it out and scan it.

The prototype CAT picture doesn't scan any better as the article is printed in low quality resolution

I'm trying to work out if the SWB CAT you posted is the same as the one on the RHS of the first picture? That photo came from Model Cars Magazine.

It sure looks like the same car: check the 2 different coloured front shock stays

nice pics, thanks for taking the time to put them up here

You know, I scanned that first photo in about a week ago and never noticed the CAT prototype had different colour
left & right front shock towers. Duh

Ian,

Interesting top picture. I have exactly the same picture, although mine comes with a nice 6 page article

Thanks for taking the time to scan those. That's really awesome.

Big thanks are in place!

Awesome work James - many thanks for that.
