GTRene - where did you get that radiator? Looks like an alloy version of the stock unit? was it custom made? or a part from another car.
I would love one like that for my Vixen 2500 (if it did not cost that much).

yep, its a lovely car with a wide brutal stance and hope it gets a bit of STP again, they seem to be a winner at some point looking at one of the pictures/ad.

DWY-515H which was/is also 700-JKP

Thats an S1 Vixen chassis under there so as a Sports 2000 / Libre car could actually be something quite rare…
I would certainly have that…

That a very interesting set of photos..

part 2 of 3 with CLM-99H something special is coming back to live again.

















and the next picture is also the same car, I love that picture, looks brutal and used for driving-fun.

I am crazy about this car! I am also chuckling about what can pass for "rollover protection." It's too bad, that the patinated paint finish wasn't retained (unless it was, and I'm mistaken) and I dislike the paint finish, on the wheels. They look as though the proper finish, if Dow 7 wasn't used, would have been raw, as cast.

Best,
B.

how can you see biggrin I can't remember such things, also some vixen and or Tuscan or some Grantura are hard to recognize for me mostly from the outside.

those have all the same wheelbase, but what chassis are the same and what chassis is the best/strongest, and can you use some for another type with the same wheelbase?

--Chimaera = 4015mm & 2286mm
--Griffith = 3900mm & 2286mm
--V8S = 3957mm & 2286mm
--S2 = 3957mm & 2286mm
--S = 3962mm & 2286mm
--Taimar Tur = 4013mm & 2286mm
--3000M = 4013mm & 2286mm
--Taimar = 4013mm & 2286mm
--2500M = 3912mm & 2286mm
--1600M = 3940mm & 2286mm
--1300 S4 = 3683mm & 2286mm
--Vixen S3 = 3683mm & 2286mm
--Vixen S2 = 3683mm & 2286mm
--Tuscan V6 = 3683mm & 2286mm
--Tuscan V8 = 3886mm & 2286mm

The chassis has plenty of square tubes. Were Tuscans ever made on the M chassis or is this car an M with a Vixen/Tuscan body? Either way, it's a stunner in my opinion.
