    I got my book last week and I am starting to read it at work during breaks. Pretty good so far. I got it from Midlife Classic Cars.com. It was the cheapest seller. $32.50.

    Athough AMC sold the R5 as the Le Car, it was nowhere close to a Pacer. Whole different car. There was a bit of a joke here in the US that Renault could sell the Pacer calling it the The Voiturette.

    So cool.

    Nice little custom.

    I shed a tear for the little stuffed doggie.

    I had this kit when it came out. I remember getting the smart idea to actually put some kind of oil in the clear oil pan. Engine had a crankshaft, pistons and looked pretty decent. I used vegetable oil but my skills then made it impossible to glue an oil filled part to a already painted engine block...oh live and learn. I'd like another crack at it, minus the oil. LOL

    Just ordered that myself.

    These two kits have the wheels you are looking for.

    This was postage stamp art.

    I believe this is what the builder was trying to copy. A kit car called the Markette

    There were retailers who had the ability to do that in those days, like large department stores or Sears. Most of what I know comes from where I bought mine which was a local drug store and Benjamin Franklin or other Five and Dime stores. I'm still pretty sure that MPC didn't do that until later. Maybe Tim Boyd could fill us in on that.

    No they weren't. I had bought new kits in 1965 that had no wrap. I don't think they shrink wrapped until 68 or so. Before that, they used a bit of tape to seal the cover to the bottom of the box.

    Any progress on this model? I really want one.

    I don't recall those kits being shrink wrapped. Did that start way back then? I remember 1967 kits being wrapped though.

    Nice score. Wish I had the blue Anglia
  18. lordairgtar
    I like this.

    Another way to look at it...if you had bought a Palmer kit, you'd have really good reason to be disappointed. LOL

    OK, I got ya, looked at the linky....whole different dashboard.

    No dif in the interior. It's just the lighting that changes it.

    I never did. Hung a small golden cross my GF at the time gave me.

    Oh! Me too. Now I don't think those were ever sold in the US to our farmers but I have the Porsche, the Duetz-Allis...and the Heller Fergie. I will gladly buy any tractors they deem saleable. Maybe a US version like an International, Ford, or Deere would be considered by Revell.
