Again I started with a Hong Kong toy...I think a Lucky Toys BRM. It would have been easier to use the old Entex M@r!b*r*-BRM kit, but they are pricy and it's easier to find the toy and modify it. The engine is a sprinter unit and the transaxle is a Hewland from the Gurney Eagle kit. The exhaust system is solder bent to shape...
I like cars from the '60s and '70s the best.

Wow this is really quite a rare and cool project. I'd love to see more photos. The model looks great, and the builds you post Katzen are always so unique. Thanks for posting.

Terry,
Glad you like the build. I was able to see Grahame race this car at Laguna Seca twice. Loved it instantly.

Wow, that's a wonderful build I never would have guessed it started out as a toy.
