Err yes. A lot of interest and bidding too! Replace the shell with an uncut one from LB and you have an instant V8.

My thoughts exactly, replace the body because alot of money has been spent here, and a a great deal of time. New wheels... dynomat... suspension etc etc , lots of dosh so it could be a good buy. 1 hour to go, Im not brave enough.

I guess it would be an aerodynamic disaster!

Hardly any rear downforce would upset the balance between the front and rear axles?

Scary above 90mph.

£1431, cheap for a project but wont make any money when done in its cuurent guise. 10 out of 10 for effort though by the p.o. I can only imagine how many hours have gone into it.

Should be alright. Modern Scalextric cars have magnets nowadays
