• Question: I got this body with a bunch of stuff and am wondering if it is a real car or just a made up thing. PIC
  • Probably an old '60s=vintage slot car body. Have a few myself (mostly Ford GTs...). *NM*
    • Well, it might have started out as a slot car but this has a plastic chassis so it was a kit. *NM*
  • if it's 1/25, it lloks like the old AMT McLaren M1 -Elva race car. *NM*
    • Yes, it is very close to a McLaren Elva. Not exact but at least that gives me a direction is what to do with it. Thanks *NM*
      • Tony's correct. It definitely is a McLaren Elva. *NM* *PIC*
        • Yep, sure is. Rumors suggest maybe these tools are in the crib someplace...
        • McLaren is VERY difficult to work with on licensing........
          • Salvinos some how is making it work. Larson's Indy car is scheduled for release soon. *NM*
            • Two things........ *PIC*
              • Re: Two things........ Well, I'd be all in on a "Correct" McLaren Indy car. AMT tried, but it's pretty wonky at best.
                • I am passing on the Dallara kit.....but some 70's McLarean, Eagle or Foyt Coyote and I'll spend the $80! *NM*

                    • There are videos of the Lotus in a Youtube vid......
                    • CD...I dunno if this helps but the MPC STP 67 Turbine car was also issued by Toltoys New Zealand, I got a copy 20 yrs ago & built it, exact same kit as the MPC but molded in white...check your emails for some pics. *NM*
                      • I got those pix! Stunning Build! *NM*
