1 / 18TH EXOTO GRAND PRIX CLASSICS MODEL OF WOLFGANG VON TRIPS 2ND IN THE BELGIAN GRAND PRIX BEHIND PHIL HILL AND AHEAD OF RICHIE GINTHER AND OLIVIER GENDEBIEN IN A FERRARI 1 2 3 4 ORDER FINISH. VERY GOOD EXAMPLE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.
ALL WHEELS ROTATE PROPERLY AND REAR MOUNTED CLUTCH TURNS WITH REAR WHEELS. ALL ROUND INDEPENDENT COIL SPRING SUSPENSION WORKS. GEAR CHANGE WORKS, ALL PEDALS SPRING LOADED AND WORK.
FRONT AND REAR DECKS COME OFF. REAR DECK CAN BE REMOVED OR MOVED UPWARDS AS ON THE ORIGINAL CAR. ALL WHEELS COME OFF AND ARE HELD ON BY SCREW ON KNOCK OFF HUBS USING A SPECIAL TOOL WHICH IS INCLUDED. ALL WIRE SPOKES IN GOOD ORDER. SEAT AND PETROL TANK REMOVEABLE AND FUEL FLAP OPENS.
FULL INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DO THE ABOVE. IT HAS MOVEABLE CARB BUTTERFLY VALVES WHICH OPERATE WITH THE THROTTLE PEDAL WHEN MOVED BY THE PADDED END OF SPECIAL TOOL. ALL DECALS PRESENT AND CORRECT.THESE MODELS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND RARE. COMES WITH ORIGINAL EXOTO BOX AND PROTECTION BOX COVER AND POLYSTYRENE PACKING CASE WITH CORRECT TRANSPORT CRADLES. MODEL COMES STRIPPED BUT WITH EASY INSTRUCTIONS TO BUILD AND OPERATE. ONLY FAULT IS SMALL PAINT REPAIR ON TOP SIDE LEFT EDGE OF REAR ENGINE COVER WHERE A SMALL PIECE WAS TAKEN OFF WHEN I DROPPED IT HENCE THE REDUCED PRICE SETTING. REPAIR IS NOT VERY VISIBLE WHEN REAR ENGINE COVER IS IN PLACE UNLESS YOU KNOW ABOUT IT.
TAIL PIECE ON THE RIGHT AND MISSING ON THE LEFT. ONCE MOUNTED NOT REALLY VISIBLE.
STEERING DOES NOT WORK AS THE STEERING WHEEL TO COLUMN IS NOT TIGHT. EXOTO SAY YOU CAN TURN STEERING BY FINGER VIA STEERING WHEEL HOWEVER THE WHEEL TO COLUMN CONNECTION IS WEAK AND LIKELY TO SHEAR AS IT IS A PIN INTO A HOLE DESIGN. I FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY.
ON THE OTHERS I USE A THUMB ON THE STEERING WHEEL OR THUMB AND FOREFINGER ON THE FRONT WHEELS. This item is in the category "Toys & Games\Diecast & Vehicles\Racing Cars\Formula 1". The seller is "lj328" and is located in this country: IT. This item can be shipped worldwide.
