Miguel,
almost certainly Pactra because of the use of the driver's head, despite that I am not familiar with this particular model that must be a late production job. Pretty body, I would not mount it on anything until we figure out which chassis would be adequate for it.

Many thanks  Philippe,

 

i`ll apreciatte your help for know what chassis.

Miguel, 

Estaba viendo el post....

That is an interesting body, thanks for posting Miguel. 

 

Philippe, do you think Pactra ever made a version with the slight built-in front spoiler? Doesn't seem like their style, more like something out of Riggen in the later period... but I don't recognize the body.

Don,

I knew I had seen it before. It is definitely a Pactra body, a variation in detail on this RTR car, this one mounted on a Testor chassis:







Not in a Pactra catalogue or deler sheet, but none of the late production cars are... 








 

[milmilhas]

Philippe,

 

In the same box cames the Testor chassis with a Pactra motor.

 

I don`t know if you remember but in that time (2008) i told you that i found a Pactra sindewinder chassis and was the Testor chassis.

 

When i bought the lot all the cards were cuted and i remember that the chassis was in is original card and was thePactra colours.

[TSR]

Miguel, yes, it is not impossible that by early 1968, as there was a mix of Competition and Pactra inter-family products, the "other" part of the family, Testor, could have envisioned this Lola as a possible new RTR. I am exploring that possibility now.

Hi Phillipe,

 

Here is the Chassis , is a Testor chassis with Pactra motor and wheels.

 

It cames in the same box of the body

Yes Miguel, could be a mix of parts, who knows... the chassis and motor are two years older than the body, and it has Pactra wheels and tires instead of the Testor examples.
I would guess that it is a mix of unrelated parts.

[milmilhas]

This chassis was in a cuted card Pactra.

 

Is the same car that you post !

[TSR]

Miguel,
Pactra and Testor were effectively the same company, so at the end around early 1968, they likely assembled cars from whatever parts were left, hence you have a mix.
Pactra and Competition, another company owned by Pactra/Testor, did the same. It is very confusing.

Many thanks for your help Philippe.
