If anyone out there knows about old cars, get in touch 'cause I can't figure this one out. I've got an HO scale Jaguar XKE in green, with some tattered decals on it. They appear to replicate a racing Jag from that era that campaigned in the European GT series but I can't tell. Proving that they really don't make 'em like this anymore, it still works and down the straights it's kind of quick! Again, if anyone has even a foggy idea, please let me know. Thanks! :wave:

Sounds like an Aurora tjet, but can you post a pic?

Have you checked out www.hoslotcars.com (http://www.hoslotcars.com) ? Kelly has lots of pics. You may find a match.

Looks like a 1970 Aurora; I can't believe the performance has held up so well after 37 years! Thanks for your help!

As long as everything is in their place, vintage non-magnet cars will run as they did back then. Vintage magnet cars need the magnets zapped to regain performance.
