Default LMPesque

All but got a full set of moulds for an old super sport race car along the lines of the early Mallock, they are no longer used as the car they were used on has been up dated.
I was taken around Silverstone in this car in 2000 and bugger me it was scary but exciting,the acceleration and braking power was mad it felt like you were being forced thru the belts when braking then being ripped out when the bloke accelerated...3 laps was enough for my stomach and I couldn't undo my crash helmet when I got out as shaking so much so had a fag thru the visor

If it's worth a punt I may do it?

That's quite funky mark

Looks to have quite a wide wheel base ( Probably a trick of the eye )
I can imagine just how well that would handle.

Talking Brings a tear to my eye

Do you mean that body shell would be a problem fitted to the Roadster Mark

If I had to fit the seat in the middle, I would have a gear stick right up me jacksy
