Wow, never seen these... Love that rear window!

Yes that rear window! We (as the UK) had a Ford Anglia with a similar 'reverse' rear window.

The start!

Such a retro-futuristic-utilitarian design!
Good progress...

Now... the kit comes with wide bubble arches, now the picture above of the grid of the first ever races of these mini-cars shows no wide arches, so what to do? Update 04.11.25. When you see the photo of the first race above, no extra's were on the cars, so I will leave them off!
