  1. There were not many imported to this country. As far as I know, they were "ready to race" (NOT) and came with acid dipped body's except for the doors. The engine floated the valves @ about 5500 rpms. The French team supposedly ran the same motor, but they revved much higher. A quick change of Valve springs, Triumph 650 comp springs fit the bill and that along with a blank factory cam sent to Isky cams and the little hemi came to life, and became very competitive . Don't buy "French Blue paint unless it matches the color of the blue on the spur's it will not be correct. It will be too dark.  Leave off the fender flares, in this country, they raced in C/ sedan  SCCA. This kit builds into a nice model, with a little research and detail, it can be a fine replica. Enjoy building a little known "hot rod" ( they could out run a mustang) from France.

  2. I have built this kit several times. some tweeks need to be made. Install the rear panel, and that will help align everything. The model is molded in a very close color to the factory blue. Careful with the glue and polish the plastic. you can get a realistic color & finish. These were really fum and quick cars, after a change of valve springs, and some other tricks, you could get around 140 mph. Keep posting, I will be following.
