A running, driving, totally rust free, Dolomite Sprint for somewhere in the region of £30?
Having got your full attention, I have to tell you you won't be able to get in cos the doors don't open!
I have recently had a resurgence of interest in my childhood hobby of slot car racing (NOT "Scalextrix", that is like calling a model railway a "train set") mainly because my daughters twin boys will be needing it in the next 3 years or so!
Many hours of searching ebay later, I have the makings of an extensive track system and, quite by chance, have come across a guy who makes a 1/32nd scale replica of a Dolly Sprint in cast resin. or rather 2 models, 1 of the Andy Rouse gp1 car and one of the Derek Bell big arch Gp2 car. The latter comes with a detailed decal pack of the Unipart livery.
I have another model made by him of a Le Mans Spitfire and it is remarkably detailed and looks very nice so I imagine the Dolomite will be equally good. I have asked him if he can supply some photos of the model, till they come through, I am just trying to guage interest.
So would anyone else be interested in one of these? If I can get a number of orders in hand, it will be worth him running off a batch of what is currently an out of production model. Even if never used on a track, it would make a nice shelf model, simply by leaving the slot guide off.
