A special entry here for me because this was the car that opened the door 26 years ago (I was 9 years old) on RC and of course Tamiya.I found an NIB that was lying in the dust at a papershop who once tried to sell RC cars.The price was too expensive and so the shop wanted to stop this business and I bought this one for 1500 BF (about 37 Euros :) ).This was a money mountain for me for this age.I hadn't enough money for the radio battery or even paint.I Built the car as good as I could.The car stayed by my parents and about one year ago I find it back under dust.The beauty of this object made me fell in love again with this beautifull brand,the rest of the story you already know or look to my showroom... .
So now the time has come to restore my lady and I needed original decals and rear mirrors.They are almost unpossible to find so I bought a second one (I needed a chassis for my Brabham) who came with the original box and decals.The body from this one is still in nice shape but I will sell it to make someone else happy,no need to hold Two for me.Soon on T.C. the resurection of my first one.Will be continued...
