Since I feel this is a question for us 'old farts': Does anyone know if "wide" (read: 235mm to 250mm) touring car bodies as we used to race them in the 1990's are still available somewhere? My search on the web was a bit of a fail.
Thanks in advance!

Wanted to know this too, i missed an XR3 the other week and I'm kicking myself.
Would love a Peugeot or similar for a CAT project, these were the days when TC racing really rocked...didn't look all the pretty lol, but it rocked!

Frewer can be persuaded to do batches of old shells, but you do need to buy a few to make postage reasonable. Had a batch of Metro 6R4s we got pulled from him, got one spare left.
Horizon Hobby UK got Parma to do a batch of Escort Cosworths (http://www.horizonhobby.co.uk/autoonline/j7parma/j7body/j7bodypages/j7body10377.html)for them due to a few requests a few years ago, should still be available from them.
PK Racing (http://www.pkracing.nl/bodywidelist.jsp)still have a few old shells listed, including the XR3, but they seem to have removed the English version of their site.
