Good find! I built the T-bar (non-pace car) version many years ago. I'd love to get another sometime. My full top version will have to do for now.

Nice! What a cool kit! Do the kit instructions say what races it served in? Knowing Tamiya, I expect was a real car, not just a 'hypothetical'.
Seeing some of the great stuff that Tamiya has put out over the years, I have a hard time caring much that they're not putting out new stuff. As long as they keep reissuing (or if I can find stuff on Ebay), I'll be happy for decades.... :rolleyes:

thanks guys
according to the instructions, it was used as a general pace car in a lot of the races during the 70's and early 80's
this kit also came with a motor included unlike recent re-issues didnt include one and i'll wont be using it
