Love the Mini!
does it have a steering?
do all those lights work?
Would be cool to add some LED and new tires - would be a great looking runner!

Hi Pfuetze.
Yes, the steering does work on the Mini.
Although Jouef cars did not come with lights a set of lights were available to buy which was easily installed.
Cheers,
Kev.

Received this red Mercedes 300sl Cabriolet the other day.
Took a bit of a chance on it as it was just a dirty bare body & chassis.
I had to give her a new driver, screen & complete running gear.
Well worth the effort & expense because of the rarity of this livery.
Could have been an expensive mistake, but it looks & goes like new now!
Cheers,
Kev.

open cars like that rule big time! nice big wheels!

 

[loosesalute]

They certainly do FZ!
Keep an eye open . I`ve just sourced the most beautiful Jouef car ever made. The Mercedes 300sl in metallic gray!
Cheers,
Kev

Surely you'll run out somewhere along the line Kev. Or do you have an elf stashed away that keeps magicking up more cars to collect. Looking forward to seeing the grey beauty.

 

[loosesalute]

I hope I run out sometime Ember!
The gray Merc should be arriving from France by this weekend.
Also got a really unusual flourescant yellow BRM on the way.
Cheers,
Kev.

[pfuetze]

Wow, that Beemer does look really nice, awesome job!

Looks great on the track Pfuetze.

You're a very lucky man Kev...

Don

 

[loosesalute]

Daves a good lad Don.

You should have seen the 1/32 Jaguar build he brought round this morning. I hope he posts some pics-stunning!
Cheers,
Kev.

The BMW does indeed look very nice

I consider myself priveledged. Yesterday I got not only to see Kev's fantastic collection of Jouef's, but also drive some on that lovely scenic track. Knowing the trouble he has taken collecting them, it is a bit unnerving to be told that you can drive that as fast as you want, you wont hurt it! I was surprised just how quick those cars can lap considering how old they are, and not a traction magnet to be seen!

Thanks again Kev for a memorable visit visit.

Best regards, Lloyd

 

[loosesalute]

It was really nice meeting you Lloyd, & thanks for the die-casts.

This very unusual flourescent yellow BRM arrived today.

& the most beautiful. Metallic grey Merc 300sl.

Cheers,
Kev.

Matra F1.
Nice light blue. Unusual because the body is all one colour.
Cheers,
Kev.

 

[loosesalute]

Not Jouef, but the same 1/40 scale.
A very rare E Type by Japanese firm IMAI. Arrived the other day.
Cheers,
Kev.

 

[pfuetze]
