New Lola hillclimb car

[911hillclimber]

Posting here because so few look at 'Member's Others'.

Whiling away the winter weeks waiting for the car season to emerge, so following a suggestion by 9-1-1 on here decided to try to make a model of my Lola hillclimb car.

This is the last of my old model aeroplane engines that was gathering dust, so finally put into some good use. I think it is British and just about post WW2, spark ignition and super rare.

Not bothered to do a thread, just some pics of the results.

That is wonderful.
It looks brilliant.
Think the cornering might be less impressive with the narrow slicks

[Boydyrs]

That’s Fab Graham

Cool, just do that to the full size version for extra lightness.

Thank you all for the kind comments.

The body was a bit of a tease!
I love doing these little cars and the challenge of doing them without a drg, just an image in my head, start at the front, get to the back. This is the 4th done, all kept 'in the family' for the years to come.

I only have one spark ign engine left and it is a really nice one so will not find itself in a car.

Time to do some TLC on the Real Deal!
