23-04-16 Filed in: Slot Cars
Up for sale is a beautifully hand-built and highly detailed 1/24 scale slot car of the Ferrari 365 GTB (No. 36) run by Louis Feraud at Le Mans in 1972. The body is from a Japanese Crown kit. It runs on a Schöler chassis with a Fox motor and conforms to all the criteria of the DSC (German Slot Classics). It features full working lights: four at the front and four at the back. It may not be a high performance car, but it certainly is an eye-catcher. CHF 300 (without the lady).
