Alfa Romeo – Giulietta Spider 1300 – Targa Florio – No. 128
16-02-24 Filed in: Slot Cars
Kit: Italeri.
Body: Plastic with PET, resin and metal parts.
Chassis: Schöler Striker sidewinder, with 4 ball bearings, 3mm steel axles, custom rims, plastic gears and guide, Fox motor, and PU tires.
Weight: 183g.
Built by: YGR (body and chassis).
Notes: The car is in perfect condition, though it has been raced. It took me almost 2 years to build this car as I was not motivated a lot of the time, but also because the problems of turning the kit into the slot car I wanted, were quite tricky. It is a typical example of learning by doing and a second kit by Italeri helped a lot. After all the hassle, I am very proud of the result and hope you will like it, too. In honour of my late father and the Targa Florio, I chose to number this car 128. A similar car in honour of my mother (No. 132) is in the making.
On the 24th of February 2024, this Alfa won the Best of Show Klasse 1 at the DSC Süd race in Kißlegg:
