    From ebay UK.. Update 12.09.24 arrived today, very small for 1/25 scale, in the tub at this minute being cleaned of chrome, those parts will be black!

    Yes it could be either a Caterham or an original Lotus Seven, depending on the badge on the front of the bonnet (hood). The Lotus badge is oval in British Racing Green with gold lettering.

    Cheers Larry, with so little of the original kit available it turned out OK.

    ROKR made the kit, part of the Rolife group that make model greenhouses, cafe's, bookshops etc, also wooden clocks etc. All of them Chinese produced.

    Brilliant two tone Beetle!

    Yes you're so right. Plus we have a kit car manufacturer here who makes them!

    I hope to find one of these at a reasonable price.. I've looked on the web and prices are between $80 and a $140 plus shipping of up to $50! They must be difficult to get or short on stock!

    Shelved! Too many parts missing. The body washed is still sticky as it was when delivered! The parts for the lowered suspension all gone, and as before the one piece window unit is broken down it's rear window. I don't now what adhesive they used but I can't part anything. The box shows, lowered suspension with wheels that fill the arches. In the box chrome multi spoke wheels but scale 15 inch rims, too small! I tried to get the body on the chassis plate and using various flat screwdrivers down each side the body was too stiff to fit over the chassis!

    Thanks Mark. Yes I have built numerous models over many, many years from bits and pieces to achieve a vehicle that I wouldn't have been able to buy, just by using my imagination. Many years ago I built a kit car, having the steel chassis with a glassfibre body already bolted on, and an MOT fail Mk2 Ford Escort van for the parts, it took me three months in a lock up garage, working in the evenings to finish it. At weekends we were delivering our two sons to BMX race meetings all over the country using a VW Beetle with a roof rack! Those were the days!
