Here's my Marker Machine, ugly but with potential.

And my even uglier PB1

Please just vintage cars, let´s say until 1990, also please 1/8 onroad cars only, no offroad, trucks or similar.

Is BMT after 1990?

Depends on the model number 9XX series are after 1990 -
891 (4wd) is from 88-89 and the 892 (2wd) was released in ´91.
Really neat cars if You ask me.

Ferrari 512M, not sure of the manufacturer. I've got one painted and it's in pretty rough condtion. BTW, PM sent.

This is a Parma Banzai Ferrari 512.
My personal #1 of old 1/8 bodies.

Here's a pic of my BMT's as i got them.

After a year of restoration on and off. Still some little things to do.

Perhaps someone can confirm...BMT 892 with optional 3 - Speed with Electronic Fuel Regulator. I cant take credit for the shell, it was sprayed by a good mate of mine from Aloha.

Wow, that´s some very fine BMT´s You´ve got there
From what I could find - the last car pictured would be the 891 4wd Austin Custom " light "
Must be the last of the 891´s

Thanks Dennis...it was a long journey getting them to this condition.

This was one of four used BMT's i got from a retired team driver. It came with this blue thicker chassis which the seller told me was machined for team drivers. I had all the scratches removed then re-anodized in the original blue color. I also did some other parts in blue just to add some features to set mine apart. I think this is a Active 95R, but hopefully someone can help me out and identify it correctly.

Those BMT's are nice. Did Kyosho distribute them for a while or something? I remember seeing Tower was selling a Kyosho BMT 1/8 gas chassis back in the day.

Thanks smoke-dog. You are correct, and i know BMT release 1/10th on road nitro under the Tamiya Banner.

Someone knows which 1/8 4WD cars had a chain for the front-drive? Any other cars beside Kyosho?
