Just bought the #32 R88C - it goes nicely with the #23 which I've had for some time. Both models are from Ebbro.

The #32 was driven by Australian Alan Grice and Brits Win Percy & Mike Wilds. The car qualified in 23rd and finished in 14th place.

Tampos and details look great! Do you know why one has yellow headlight on the right side and the other on the left side?

Must admit, I don't really know - from pics of the real cars, it is correct. The only thing I can think of, is that it was so the team could differentiate the cars at night.

Jinx: Makes sense. Small details like these really make this hobby even more interesting. It also shows how careful die-cast manufacturers have to be when replicating the real cars. :thumbsup:

I paid in USD - thanks to the exchange rate, it was very reasonable :)

So why do I pay £1+ per litre for diesel? Silly me, we get screwed on tax.
