Hi People,
My step-dad helped build the TVR Tasmin "Thorpedo" and years ago I had some bodies made to fit on a Scalextric chassis. I totally forgot about the bodies and recently found a couple while packing my stuff to move house. As I'm not good with my hands due to been disabled a company who sell Scalextric parts offered to build me the car.

Well I've just received a photo from them showing how it looks so far, and I love it. All it needs is the livery which is the hard part as I need to find someone who can do the small details.

Anyway the reason I'm posting is I wondered if any of you have any high quality photos of the car showing all the livery. The higher the quality the better.

Here is a photo of it so far

Already checked Google but I need high quality photos of each area and straight on if possible so someone can make stickers out of the photos to stick on the car.

That make sense? I'm not good at explaining haha

I have 1 more body spare but I do not know what I'm doing with it yet. Only 10 were ever made and I have the only 2 left, one of which is the one I've had painted

Bit late to this thread, must visit more often.
I have some pictures of the car from when it appeared in the 2005 season onward. The head on shot is one of mine from Pembury. Not many are exactly straight on but they do show the livery. Initially there were not many stickers on the side. Too many picture and too big to post here so contact me via PH and we can sort out what you need.
