Is anyone familiar with this company? Apparently they made a limited edition of only 50 of the Porsche 917K that competed in the 1969 Japan Grand Prix. I don't know of any others cars produced by them or where they hail from.

Anyone have any details?

Kind regards

Oh no!

There I was worrying about 5 year plans, budgets, headcount rationalisation and marital discord - i.e. quite normal and relatively content - and you go and show a pic of a 917 slot car I didn't know existed, instantly creating within me a deep longing and bottomless sadness that can only be removed by procession.

You're a cruel man, Sheldon.

I suspect that its a model of Siffert's 917K, seen here chasing the Toyota-7 in the 1969 Japan Grand Prix:

I saw it advertised in the current issue of the Japanese "Model Cars" magazine, available from Sakatsu.

I wonder who Limited Products 32 are and if they make any other models?

Gary, Sean, Phil, Jon?

Kind regards
