1970's Leisure Electronics 1/12 scale 100 series

Does anyone have any information on this company or the cars they made? I've tried doing some research but finding info is far and few between. I am guessing this car is pretty obscure, or it could be the fact that is is from the 70's and it never made it to the internet lol. I picked up a car from this company and would just like to know more. Thanks!

This site has something about Leisure http://www.rc-car-museum.de/1_12_Modelle_aus_aller_Welt/Leisure_100/leisure_100.html but it´s in German language so you have to use a translator. There had been two different Leisure cars the Leisure 100SE and Leisure 100 SS with the older one from 1978.

Yes, that was one of the few links I found.

Here is the car I bought. Looks complete minus servos and receiver. I think I see one of those gold futaba radios in my future.

Here it is cleaned up...

Looks quite good.

Very super-deformed body on that one.

Does it have a diff? And is that a servo plug used on the battery leads?

Looks like a BunBun racer box pic

Interesting car...

The body is interesting huh lol. Reminds me of the jetsons or american cars from the 60's.

No diff, spur is directly attached to axle by set screw. That is a g-plug servo adaptor on the battery leads, no idea how that is supposed to work.

I saw this on eBay. I see now why it wasn't relisted. I'm pretty sure the body is either and Inaltera from 1978/1979 Le Mans or a Rondeau M379 that ran in and won Le Mans in 1980. This is the only lexan body I've ever seen of those cars. Very interesting. I almost bought it just for the body.

[AndrewSi]

Cool. thanks for the info. I can definitely see the resemblance between the two cars.
