I have had this one for nearly two years I think. If I recall correctly it came from Jim Sourbeck. It will form the basis of a Scorcher resto when I finally get round to it!


As you can see it has many of the small fiddly bits present, minus the front indicator lights and the wing mirrors. It has a very nice straight, scratch-free front bumper and complete exhaust/stinger. However the bodyshell itself is in bad condition with numerous repairs and cracks. I'll probably use it on a runner. The radio box base also has cracks. The front tyres are after-market ones.


I have a replacement shell for it, and new wheels and tyres. Now I just need to find the time to work on it. It's in my long list of projects....
