Hi, everyone,
I was reading "The Word from the wee world" from Model Car Science
September 1968.
"Just arrived on the HO body making scene is an Englishman by the name of
Larry Flounders. Like Richard Harrison, Larry's outfit is not exactly
big-time, but he is one heck of a manufacture nonetheless. He has a line of
fiberglass bodies available fro 45 cents plus postage. For now you can send
a self addresses envelope to Larry at 59 Rochester Road, Camden Town London
N.W. 1, England. At the moment the line includes these shells: Howmet
turbine (not an F1, of course but well worth a mention here), Lotus turbine,
Eagle-Climax, Eagle-Weslake, Honda and BRM H16. Most exciting part of the
entire deal is Larry will be making two new bodies each and every month."
So has anyone ever seen any of these? And for our English brothers anyone
know him? I would love to see his bodies and see a list of what he did
make.
