Lester told me he never got around to finishing this Matra F1 slot car.  Lester modified a Riggen chassis and built a reverse-timed Mura C-can motor for the car.  I further trimmed the body, painted a driver figure, and assembled the car.  I added are some semi-modern tires I had lying around to test the car.  
 
The assembled car looks cool and is easy to drive.  The reverse-timed motor is mild and is right for the car.  Nice car, Lester.
