Just got this tatty UK issue (Champion, identifiable by the yellow stripe) Jouef Lotus F1 car. 1/40 scale. Made between 1965 & 1968.
Needed quite a bit work, but has come up like new.
Cheers,
Kev.

As the Joker says, "Where does he get those wonderful toys?"

Beautiful Kev!

Hi Thai.
I paid just £5 for that car!
You can`t get parts for Jouef now so there`s no point buying a car for restoration unless you`ve got your own spares available.
Cheers,
Kev.

Just out of mild curiosity Kev, just how many cars do you have in total??

Perhaps we ought to have a sweepstake on the numbers ....... I reckon at least 4,265 ....... any one else fancy a guess??

Hi Greg,
Honestly don`t know how many I`ve got, but I know how many our lass wants me to sell-every one of them!

Cheers
Kev

Don't sell Kev. Keep them and enjoy that warm glow of knowing that you own them. It is something that most females just don't understand...the desire to collect, admire and enjoy ones toys of choice.

Keep the pictures coming and good luck in finding those last few elusive cars!

All the best,

Philip
