The stylish Goggo Coupe is planned as
the next model from Terrys Model Cars . |
FIAT 500
|
This timeless Italian Icon is adored by everyone
and has Clubs devoted to it in many countries . |
It will be an excellent subject for Radio - Control .
|
But don't let your Topolino topple over !
|
Citroen 2CV
|
The gossamer 2CV , despite the bulk of it's
thin-tin bodywork , was propelled by engines of initially 375cc , then 425cc , then finally 602cc and so surprisingly comes within the generally accepted criteria for a microcar . |
Radio-Controlled models will Rock'n'Roll
just like the real thing ! |
The simple "Wedge of Cheese " shape poses
difficulties when contemplating a one-piece bodyshell . However , the owner of the Rights to the Bond name is making encouraging noises so a model dodyshell will no doubt follow in due course . |
|
Radio-Controlled conversions will need ingenuity
and careful driving to overcome instability . So no change there ! |
It's only a matter of time before I give in to
owner's demands and produce models of these charismatic bubble-cars . |
Once despised , then ridiculed , then
discarded , but today cherished by a legion of enthusiasts who appreciate how important this Eastern-Bloc vehicle was to those who could aspire to own one . |
What else ?There are several other models of small cars which I'd like to make ,
particularly those which appeal to the not-so-stuffy enthusiast with an acute allergy to the mundane . Watch this space ! |
