Older F1 kit cars

[Smokescreen]

I was just wondering if anyone knew if anyone made kit cars of mid-late 60's F1 cars, ones similar to the AAR Eagle. I wouldn't think they would be too hard to make, except maybe the rear axle.

Vanwall V12 ?? - http://www.vanwallcars.com/html/cars.html



Lotus 25 approximation ?? -- http://www.tigerracing.co.uk/cars/era-main.php ( though up close it's not so similar, but in Lotus Green/yellow it fools from a distance

Correct, which is part of Tiger. The hint was in the url

there are also kits available to make your own monopost out of a VW beetle, VW formula look-a-likes

there used to be a VW formula championship in belgium for those, organised by d'ieteren.
i know i have some pics of one around here, i'll see if i can find it

edit: here it is. the kits are also available through apal i believe

Lots of FF1600s and Formula Renault, Formula Vauxhall, Formula Vee etc etc, but none of these are "formula one".

Do you want info on other single seaters ??

Yeah, the ERA was from the era I was leaning towards, most anything that was mid engine, but still pre-wings, the Lotus-Ford 48 and the AAR Eagle mostly.

If you want the look of the BIG 70s DFVs then get Pilbeam or Jedi .
These are awesome sprint/hillclimb specials with the 3l Ford or more usually Judd power. Storm the tracksna dhillclimbs. I think they hold almost every record in the UK.
AWESOME
Recent Knockhill race adn these guys were spinning the tyres on the wet track for nearly 200 YARDS. 150mph and STILL spinning the tyres - and they were on full wets Great sound
