    Just scored on ebay UK, already started and in bits so it will very likely become a race car, possibly the first 500SL racer!

    The grooved bodywork is similar to the early Citroen 2CV.

    Although we saw this in our small town today, we didn't have any means to photograph it, so I've searched and found a Toyota Special Edition, only built and sold for 2001-2002 due to lack of interest in Japan. There are the owner (local Postman) told me there are about 40 in the UK. 1300CC engine front bench seat and 4 speed automatic gearbox. It's outlandish looks weren't liked in Japan were it was designed and built by Toyota! It is named WILL Vi.

    When my youngest son bought over his then girlfriend (now wife) She said that she was told although I was in my then late 60's that I still played with toys! But I notice all the time that people who sit around after retiring with no hobbies can't understand the idea of having hobbies at all. Our local 'Men in Sheds' has loads of men who only had a job that took over their lives, but now can't even drive a screw into a piece of wood or even change a light bulb! As a 'Practical Man' I've built kit cars, built log cabins, wired new light fittings (after being trained by my late electrician brother) laid crazy paving, built garden walls and laid wood floors (although I can't now that my knees won't stand it). Anything practical interests me and I must try it! Like I still build model kits at 76 when I started at 8 years old with Airfix WW2 fighter planes and tube glue, yuk!

    Just finished! As the window pieces fell through the openings I choose some thin clear plastic retail packaging, cut out and added to the body.
  23. PatW
    Cheers Carl, Just finished!

    Yes we in the UK had various Fibreglass kit cars, sitting on Beetle chassis, some very good, some very bad! I built one of these kits a few years back. It took a lot the line up the top and bottom halves of the body!

    Thanks guys. The roof light bar legs are too long so I will have modify the way it sits on the roof! Yes Noel, a veritable Chelsea Tractor!
