Looking for a new project and something original and was thinking if its not been done...

[John]

I've never seen one. It'd ruin a good early mk1 sr though imo!

Does the original toy come with 3 spokes?

No it comes with generic 80's corgi wheels iirc.

[Southie]

Just buy a normal model and hold it closer too your face. It will appear larger lol

Its the bottom of the barrel for people who cant actually afford a real Nova, They are getting quite expensive these days.

There was a Spider years ago that was drivable and was 1/3rd of the original nova size, a large kids toy car if you like with an electric motor

Could well do, he'll know about it's existance anyway as there's nothing that ladd doesn't know about Spiders!

Ive got photo's of it somewhere on a hard drive in a draw, will have to dig it out

Could be wrong but im sure it was something to do with Shell?? Im going back years.......

cool as :thumb: tho

[Ben]

yeah sure mark had that for a while.

[John]

Yeah he does, tis on his fb pics.

[KSRY]

Was just thinking of using a basic mk1 shell rather than 'ruining' a better spec'd car

[Ben]

he probably thought it was lifesize just for him lol

[Daz9124]

Yeah he does, tis on his fb pics.

Get the pic posted - print screen it or snip it, will save me trawling through my draws as it was yonks ago

Im sure it must have came from Europe? Dutch or German?

Tell you what - That little Electric car is one of the coolest additions to a show car i think imaginable that and the cav with a barbeque front end.

Superb for a show, must get recognition across the board and from all marques :thumb:

About the only thing you can put in the bay of a cav, Nova's have all the engines!
