Hi,

Basically the answer is no. Automodello in the USA are hoping to do a Vixen at some stage, with the possibility that with a couple of small changes it could be turned into a Tuscan. However it is almost 3 years since Jim measured my 3000S and he promised me that the 3000S model would be next. Automodello have done a Griffith 200 though and it is very good, especially the race version.

The closest thing is the resin/pewter mix model that Autosculpt created about 15 year ago, they did a lot of TVRs and they are very accurate. It does not take too much work to spray one up to match your car. they can usually be picked up on Ebay, or at Autojumbles.



Oliver.

Looks utterly wonderful Neil!

I tried mailing and calling the slot car ebay person, but the mail address returns an error and the phone is picked up by someone who says has nothing to do with slot cars... Anyone else have the correct contact info?

Bugger..........now I am going to have to.

Is that a slot car or did you make it up as a
Model with internals etc?

ETA: Oh dear, I just discovered the PSR website...............

I like those Griffiths 200, bought 2 of those pretty rare models a few years ago, but sold one a few weeks ago.

Not a classic, I know, but a new TVR model nonetheless.
