TOPIC:

Just found another long forgotten box of bits. I bid on this on Ebay a while ago now, at the time i was thinking of racing them at my local club on the Wirral. I put a silly bid in and somehow ended up owning it. i think it ended at a funny time of day. anyway i fitted a esc i had lying about and fitted some radio gear and ran it around my house but thats all it was never raced. i replaced the rear tyres as they where a little age worn but the rest of the car was in excellent unused condition it is completely mark free and somebody made an excellent job of painting the shell. i was wondering just how old it is as the body seems very dated? i dont know the first thing about Mardave but looking at the instructions id date it around the 70's???

hope you like the pics any information about it is welcomed

Cool hot rod! Seems to be in perfect condition.

Isn't there a (coded) year of issue printed somewhere in the manual?

hi Edou

i cannot see any coding on the build manual just says r12 series rebel model?

not sure if it has any age to it feels and looks 70's?

if anyone races these and has some knowledge of them it would be interesting to know?

this may end up in the new trade section as its not really my cup of tea

Mardave's seem to be alive and kicking in the UK: mardaveonline.co.uk/

The one in the ebay ad is a V12, yours is a R12 which I believe is older.
But, you can't complain about a price of
