Just stumbled on this posting regarding TR7/TR8 models which includes pictures of a 1:32 slot car model of the Group 44 TR8: http://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.p ... topic=7762





Looks nicely done.

I want one! No, I NEED one!!!

(I've got most of the rest already...

It'd be fantastic to be able to buy slot car models of wedges in all the 'genuine' racing livery, specifically the:
- BL V8 FHC and 16v FHCs
- Group 44 TR7 and TR8 FHCs
- Huffaker FHC & DHCs
- Buffum's green and white FHC
- Le mans Factory and Janspeed FHCs
- BL Aust TR7 Pro Barclay Series.

BTW, your black model looks like it could be adapted to appear like the "Playboy" wedge that ran in local race events here in the late 70s and early 80s:

The black one is one of the two Toy's'R'Us cars, the red one next to it is the other one. They do turn up on e'bay but not very often. Since they were only sold in a toy shop; parents/grandparents often bought them to give to the kids to actually play (!) with them.
