It was may be a team car, but it is surely a great mix now.
It is the basis for a nice runner resto.

Lego parts will be the easyest parts to find in usual shops ;)

Polished aluminum is SO much easier to keep clean and looking nice than etched... which shows all yer dirty fingerprints, scuffs, etc...etc.... :wink: :mrgreen:
