Years ago Noose painted one of these for me (image below) but sadly that body has now seen one too many crashes and I would like to replace it. I believe the original body was a Lancer but I know TrueScale carried them for years. Does anyone have one of these that they would be willing to sell?
Thanks,
Larry

Do you have the TrueScale part number?

Sadly no but I wish I did. Victor made so many wonderful F1 bodies from that time period including the Honda RA301 that Pablo is currently working on.

Either on Facebook or one of the other slot car boards, I read a recent post from Victor. In it, he said he never stopped making 1/24 & 1/32 bodies, just changed the way they were distributed. He also said he had a new website half built. I'm under the impression that people have been ordering bodies by phone, email, or mail. Maybe there is hope yet.

Good to know Bill! I just sent him an email to his old truescaleproducts address so we'll see if that works.

Would love to get some More Truescale Bodies !! Victor made Such a Great Indy Lotus !!!
BTW, I think the TrueScale part number for the Matra is TSR20

I have a TrueScale Mantra TSR20 NIB (box) and also a Lancer LAN #976 NIB (bag!) Mantra. Either one for $15.00 or both for $25.00 + shipping.
