I saw this tag on another post and I wonder if anyone has one of these F1 bodies? I am curious what it looks like.

F1 or Stock Car? The tag says Ford Stock Car.
A motor is only as fast as the chassis it's in.

I'm looking at the 916 body on the tag, the Stewart Tyrrell F1. I have never seen one.

The Tyrrell (#916) and Matra (#917) were originally MAC bodies that were developed to allow the use of anglewinder style chassis under them. They were extra wide.
I think there was a third F1 body from this series, but I don't recall what it was. It would be nice if they were available again.

Thanks Steve.
Anybody have pictures by chance?

Matra Body
Electric Dreams still has the Matra Body listed, but the Tyrrell is not shown. I remember it though. It literally could double for a door stop.
I would love to get a hold of a couple of the Matra's. I always thought they were cool looking slotcar bodies.
( I tried to include a link, but it didn't make the transition.)

If you go to Electric Dreams website click to the "Vintage Bodies1/24 Scale " section. The Matra body is MAC-V01.

Because I have the body (somewhere) would someone be kind enough to post a pic of the anglewinder chassis that would be under one of the above Matra bodies ?

Back in the day Phase III actually made angle winder F1 chassis. As I recall they were like $7.95 or $8.95. Not sure how they would fit under this body.
I think at the end of the day a chassis for this body is gong to be a scratch built challenge and project. That's a good thing....

I am guessing that it was the "008" body rather than the 6-wheeler.

More like 006 chassis.

MG Brown: That's the Matra Simca. I tried post to any number of photos of it, but the website didn't allow the transfer of photos and/or links. Just sayin'.

Yeah, I agree. The Matra and I have painted a couple of those.

Apparently I have the photo mis-labeled, my apology.
