Constructor Car Help needed

[truckdoctor]

As time moves forward they now sell for over £1200 Just crazy if you don't have one and want one , but party time if you want to sell one. That's life for you.
I made some headlamps from a piece of ally bar that's been kicking around for 30 years. I new it would come in handy.

The Alumatub bodywork was made by Marcel de Ley and his sons.
Sadly also no longer with us.

I bought what was likely one of those Meccano at a school fete back in the 60s. Open roadster in Vgood condition. The mechanical detail was excellent.
I think my younger brother trashed it. IIRR payed 2 bob for it... That would be 10p for our younger readers..

Hi, There's a guy on Retrorides sympathetically refurbishing one for his boss. In typical Meccano fashion there's a choice of body options.

I spent some time making the exhaust manifold / headlamps/ and louvre. Had a quick polish of the roof to see what it would look like if it was left shiny and well not too happy so will think on it. I do remember seeing the alumatub a long while back and what a wonderful

thing , maybe this is where the idea sprung from though this obviously is only a model.

Finished it off today and decided that I should leave the roof untreated. Thank you all for your help and suggestions.
