nice job john, could you tell us a little about how you made it? is it a conversion or a scratch build? any clips of the seat working?

it was a scrapped c68 with sunroof.I just got as many pics of the original and just took it from there,resprayed the body and base and scratch built the ejector seat which works the same as original.Cut a slot for the sheild, that can slide up and down..a bit.Reprinted the number plates and bought replica bumbers.Ther is no way I could afford the original so by buying a crappy c68 and doing the rest myself was best option for my collection.This a close up.

great job loved the old 60's Bond scalextric .. a classic set.. no
wonder it sells for the prices it goes for.. :007)
