Does anyone have an SCX 60230 Cordoba?  It's the no.9 1999 Rallye Monte Carlo one.  I have a question to ask about this specific model.

Thanks in advance.

[Mr.M]

Yes, I've got that one Stu. What do you need to know?

I would like to know where the attachment points are for the spot lamps.  Would you be able to take the body off the chassis and get a decent-ish image of the underside, pretty pretty please??

Thanks.  

[Mr.M]

It probably isn't much help. The mounts are hidden between the underside of the bonnet and the topside of the interior.

Thank you so much for that, Mr.M.        I appreciate your time & trouble.

It does help a little.

They are attached with heat-staked "pins". 
I was able to cut the tops off by inserting a scalpel blade in via the grille aperture and in between the underside of the bonnet and the black plastic shown in the picture above.  I applied glue to the pins after I had painted the body.
I just found out that this version is "rare" and expensive...

Any chance of a pic, or link to a pic, of the one you've painted please Leo??  I've recently developed a fascination for the Cordoba WRC history.
I already have one repaint in progress, and am planning at least one more.
You're right, there aren't a lot of the early version about.  As far as I can tell, Tecnitoys only did two liveries on the E1 version of the Cordoba - one with additional lights, and one without.  I haven't counted them, but they must have done at least 6 variations on the E2, plus Altaya did at least 2.
All the variations I've seen come with the early wing.  I have a plan to modify an E2 model to look more like the later wing.
I think I'm right in saying that Ninco's Cordobas are all the E1 version - even with the later livery.

There's a 'mint-in-box' one on ebay UK at the mo for 55 quid BIN.

Now and again I use the one I have for Slot Rally, it's a lovely car to drive and probably the best 'basic' SCX Rally car I have...but it's slooooooowwww
...a Pro Double Rally motor from a Xsara Pro would perk it up a bit

I know.      I've been watching it for a while.  Seller is open to offers too.  I might end-up making a cheeky offer on it - possibly as soon as later today.

Maybe my SCX Cordoba photos and info can help you:

As far as I know there is also a No. 8 Cordoba Ref.6045, Rally Costa Brava 2000, driven and crashed by Toni Gardemeister.
