View Full Version : Forgotten Aurora G+ Tyrell prototype!? ;-)

Hi folks,

just wanted to show off what I did yesterday on a lazy Saturday afternoon: Found a decent Tyrrell sixwheeler in my junkyard box missing only the front wheels and the original air intake piece.

Simply removed the old stickers, added the scoop from a crashed Lola F1 and my favourite G+ racing chassis (with orange mags and gearrs...). The hardest part was removing the yellow stripes (rubbing off with denatured alcohol and a little polishing) - unfortunately they still show a bit through as the body probably was exposed to sunlight before it ended up in my junk drawer...

Anyway: IMHO a cool fantasy F1 car that looks like Aurora could have made it 30+ years ago!

Now all I have to do is add some decals - maybe IŽll do some custom ones on "period correct" sticky paper... - what about a Gauloises livery Tyrrell? :hat:

Have all a great Sunday!

Claus,

Man what would you be able to do on a non-Lazy Saturday? Very cool Tyrell build up. Can't wait to see this stickered up.

You could throw that F1 in Faller Packaging for an added Hmmmmmmmm factor when it is all done up.

Bob...love the colors on this...zilla

Yeah, that is sweet. :thumbsup:

Sticky paper decals would be period correct, I agree. Maybe some Esso or Gulf?

It would still be Elf sponsored, from 68-79, I think.

Nice job, Clause. Maybe I can fix a few of mine that way instead of trying to reglue the wheels. In fact I have a couple that are pretty much ruined in the front or back, maybe I can splice them and shorten up the nose so it's closer to the wheels....

Damn, there I go again. I was pretty much determined to spend the day imitating a carrot on the couch...

That is a fantastic looking car, Claus. It reminds me a little of the 1975 751 March.
