which kits can you remember that you think should have done better
I have two in mind, one was called the 'cypher'I think, which used reliant kitten running gear and another that I can't remember ( no pun intended ) looked like an elan but had fixed headlights a la frogeye sprite, I know it sounds awful but it could have been sorted.
any others?

elysee, hmm lets see now, fixed lights,ladder chassis,
chevette running gear, mini door hinges, fergs right petrol and matches make the perfect combination for it.
funny how time fades the memory isnt it?

Hi
been reading posts,didn't moss make a model that looked a bit like an early alfa? is this the monaco?
was one of the daytona replicas based on a rover sd1? I seem to remember reading that the rover was somehow inspired by it or am i loosing the plot?
with regard to replicas the triple c challenger has to be in there somewhere if only because of the car its replicating, Quite well as it happens if my memory serves me correct, i suppose its downfall may have been that for the cost of doing an authentic job you were getting close to the cost of an original, albeit not a mint one,
