Anybody know of a 'Vintage Speedsters' from the US speedster in the UK? Have been weighing them up, but would like to see one without having to go to California!
Cheers, Andy :bom:

Its alot more accurate than any of the UK based kits. Compared to my coupe the front end looks the same, whereas most don't!

best european car! and is the most accurate car! from the late 60s,
you have chance of a apal than a vintage.

That is also because the UK cars have the lights higher than the US ones this is due tot he UK legal requirments That is why I think SUV would be a real pain in the ass and a big RISk to get it here. I asked the owner this via email my self it looks a nice car but too much of a risk I think..

Sorry to cross post - but I might be tempted to sell my Apal - if you're interested drop me a PM.

I did wonder about those headlights! maybe, you could just jack up the front suspension for the SVA!
Anyway, nice to have some lively debate, but its all immaterial now - I think I've found me a real one! :lol:
offers on a potscard for my RHD 912 and RHD 356A!
