I like the 7up one.

Googled 7up F40 and found those.

Totally off topic, but I have happy memories of visiting Florence some 35 years ago

Thanks for the picture, it gives me good vibes.

Need to clear out my "non Ferrari" folder, I have saved a few too many, and now that the "race cars you never heard off" thread is buried, this one is the only outlet.
So let's look at cars that were competing against Ferraris.

70s

70s, just.

Race cars you never heard of

Whilst surfing for unusual race cars I found this...the McCandless 500 I wonder if it had anything to do with Cromie McCandless, he was a Northern Irish Grand Prix motorcycle road racer. His best season was in 1951, when he finished in third place in the 125cc world championship behind Carlo...

I did try to revive the unknown thread", but it a bit dead.

Still cars that competed with Ferrari.

Forgetting my manners (my excuse is that I had car problems)

Competitors to Ferraris from the 50s. Great looking BMW (not many of those around)

The one and only successful Aston.

Not terribly successful, but very nice Cunningham (I think)

So ugly, it's actually beautiful (and rather effective) 450 Maserati, Zagato with the help of Frank Costin.

The obligatory 300SL (try that as a colour scheme)

Not to forget the beautiful Lancia D23

And just because I can, Siata 208CS

Love the Elfin 300.....another great big banger that isn't well represented (as well as it's larger brother the 400).

Not that fussed about the Zagato Maserati styling I like the standard 151-3 I think it is, I've been meaning to print a 1/24 body of it but 🤗.

1/24th Midori 158, I should really prepare one of those to use at the Big Bird meeting, instead of my regular Honda.

I'm still looking for one of those for my F1 collection I have 3 and bit of the Honda's but get out bid whenever there's a Midori Ferrari up for action! I've got the reproduction exhaust for my Cox ,the only 1/24 F1 Ferrari I have, so I'll have to give it a sprues up soon!

Midori stuff has got harder to find lately, but it's still around, there is a plastic model by LS which is the same body.

[rastas]

Thanks Joel, I'll look into that. I found a 250 Testarossa 3d file I forgot about,shared to me by NIMROD ,that should work out for that Otaki chassis ,
So I can at least get it looking somewhere close to what it should. A pity I can't find 158 3d file for one of the Midori chassis!
Cheers and thanks for the help.

Rallying a 4 seater?

[chappyman66]

Needs some work yet, but should be raceable.
