Hesketh F1
Brilliant looking car with the very simple Hesketh theme matching the Box-art and 1/1 F1 car alike, completely stripped down for a deep clean, no polishing etc to keep the factory look to the parts, finishing touches completed on the shell to set the car up as it should be, sadly the brush painted theme was removed in a dettol bath, new rear spoiler sides cut and bonded to the original to make up for the incorrect original cut out. Lewis - May 2022.

McLaren M23
Great condition as looks to have never been run, has a never used ENYA 19 engine mounted inside and some period paperwork in the box, have added to the collection as is for now and will decide whether to give it a new spray job and decals as there’s a few storage marks etc on it. Lewis - Mar 2022.

Modified
Mk4 chassis modified to use the Escort body, believed to be a very late Mk4 due to the use of the plastic front wishbone as used on the Mk5. Updates Aug 2017 - fully cleaned up and resprayed in Alan Mann Racing colours. Leigh.

Capri RS
Another Capri in Leigh's collection on a slightly earlier chassis from approx 1976, the colour scheme on the body looks excellent! Update - Custom made radio box to replace missing original, new Serpent wheels fitted which really suit the body.

1978ish chassis with a very interesting homemade air scoop, very complete and original under a really tidy shell. Leigh

Really pleased to come across this very rare car, released around 1976 on the Mk4 chassis this particular Hesketh would of been purchased in the late 70s as I can see it would of featured the larger fuel tank which Mardave upgraded the Mk4 to in early 1977. Its had fuel through the engine but I dont think its been run as everything is in excellent condition, comes with a great vintage paint job which I will enjoy for a while until it comes to the front of the restoration queue, then I plan to do a strip & clean, plus go with the box art Hesketh theme on the body.

Capri RS
Slowly put together after first finding a chassis which features the front body mount for either a Capri RS or Firenza shell, then the Shell was sold to me by fellow member Kev (Thankyou!) lastly an empty kit box appeared on ebay. Will be on the look out for a period radio box and engine in readiness for a possible restoration. Update - Bodywork well underway, this shell had been in a crash at some point! the original repair was really good, plus a lot of work had been put into fitting mesh/windows/wooden grill across rear window for engine cooling. Everything has been removed with new repairs and filling completed, primed before being sprayed white inside & out ready to have a KENT theme applied matching the original box-art.

Picked this up semi built in original box with instructions & new Veco 19 engine, the shell was cut and finished to the Boxart scheme. Apparently these were used for Hot Rod Oval Racing back in the late 70s! Lewis.
