Ok, not mint, but at least it is a step in the right direction to finish my Graphite car collection:

Yeah, there's a few extra holes... but I bet scr8p can fix me up. 8)

Was this just on the 'bay? If so I think I saw it and wondered if anyone from here would grab it. Looks good mate.

What brand of chassis is is? I know it's not an AE chassis.

so how many AE graphite chassis plates are there?
This one is the "worlds" version, right?
Prior to that there was the more rectangular one with the AE logo machined in, and this was available in both 6-gear and stealth?
There was the TQ chassis too, some with holes for the rear guard and some without.
any others?

TQ10 partial countersunk, TQ10 fully countersunk, six-gear weave 'AE', Stealth weave 'AE', "Worlds" weave no 'AE'.

The Graphite car box shows the logo'd weave chassis cut like a TQ10.

Does that variation actually exist outside the promo/prototype?

Thanks for the info, I have 0 of them :? I'd really like to get a logo weave stealth team car in the near future.

Not that has been proven...yet.

There was a seller on th'bay that made his own and wasn't really forthcoming in the auction description, but did answer the questions truthfully that it was a replica.
