hi vintage buffs the latest addition to the ever increasing fleet of vehicles

most of you will know immediately what it is !! I guess bumper and rear wing are not original but its been lightly run over its life

Mr BORMAC (Jason) will be smiling as its one of his faves from yesteryear :lol:

Nice Viper:thumbsup: Bumper's not so bad but you definitely need to do something about that rear wing!

very nice,bet that took some finding:woot: only seen one up for sale and he wanted very good money, and that car was incomplete!

One of my friends ran one when we all had Optimas as he wanted something different, he had a nightmare with stones in the chain

Awesome Dave. Welcome to the first TRF buggy that Tamiya did. I still think this has to be one of the best looking buggies.

Nice one Dave......:thumbsup:
