I don’t really feel complete, unless I have an unfinished car body lying around. :sun:
This one, I blocked out very roughly some years ago.I have now started to refine it. This is a car that means something to me, I will take it slow and easy…
   
   
   
Rather unusual as a slot car, I wonder why? It did pretty good, as a rally car as well as a track racer. I have seen a few made up from Steve Francis’ (?) shells, but that’s about all.

Cheers, Carver

Yet another brilliant project.
It would be fantastic to see a Volvo or/and a Saab rally car produced by one of the established slot car manufacturers. 
I think they would be a huge success.

Thank you for sharing, it is a pleasure to watch your progress (as always).

Woooohoooo!!! 


I've always thought the Amazon was lovely. 

There are very few cars which you can say are perfect judged from every angle, but Jan Wilsgaard and Volvo got this one spot on.


As always, I'm looking forward to your build, it is always a pleasure to see your work.

Thanks for your encouraging comments!
@Jason: Impressing, you can name the designer, I didn't know he was that famous.

   
The car was introduced 1956, and during a long life, it was produced up to 1970, a lot of improvements were made under the surface. The motors got better and hotter... Luckyly they kept the plate work intact.

In the 60s, exports took off. Here is a nice advert for the US market.

Wait, what? Slot.It or NSR doesn't make one yet? What's wrong with them?
