I purchased this Nardi and some other bodies from David (?) at AABodies.

Did you leave the cloaking device on by mistake? Sun

Oh no.... I thought (danger, Will Robinson!) I had the 'attach photos' issue resolved. My phone has denied the pleasure so I tried this at the office and you see.... don't see... the result. I'm at a loss to figure this out. Oh well...

Once you've 'attached' the photos you have to 'insert into post' Thumbup

Have you read the instructions? LINK

Thanks for responses! I was able to successfully add photos to two previous threads. Since exceeding data allotment my phone has dropped to a low upload speed (~276 kbps) which may be the reason the phone won't post pictures. I'll try again the first of the month when the data cache is renewed. I don't have any idea why it didn't work on my office computer where I have an ISP so will try again, Monday. If it doesn't work I'll let y'all know so that this thread can be removed if desired. I don't want to use up your bandwidth needlessly.

We’ll see if the ‘cloaking device’ can get de-activated!

Very nice work Arup. It must go like a bullet with the flat-6. Thumbup

Well… how ‘bout that? The pictures were all taken in same fashion so the rotations don’t make sense. Look how tiny the Nardi is relative to the Jaguar! After prepping, painting and adding decals acrylic floor polish was brushed onto it in multiple coats. I purchased the decals online but don’t remember the source. The chassis is brass. One end of the motor supports the body. A Slottechnik digital chip and home made front and rear lights were shoe-horned into it. Did I mention it is tiny? The driver has Nardi’s pencil moustache, too!

Don't worry about orientation. Clicking on the pic fixes that. Plus, they all look faster going downhill.

Upon closer inspection. I see the motor wires are not hooked up yet.

Being a non magnetic chassis, skinny rear tires, and a killer motor. It will likely have a liberal amount of tire spin in the straights. One might even call it a "tire-fryer".

Again, it's a very cool looking car.
