I think that they have either just stripped it themselves or they got it direct from Otto. They certainly wernt sold like that to the public sadly, would make modifying it a lot easier.

Yeah I havnt seen another. It's un painted so it came from otto like this maybe through the back door? It's ideal for me as I want to do a Flint grey 2wd replica of my car. Shame they don't sell them like this as much easier to paint them!

Little bit of progress on this. Gave it a lick of Flint grey, front number plate on and Amber indicators now working on interior and rear end. Trial fitted some wheels too, closest I can find to 18" Comodoras at the moment!

Getting there slowly Paul! I walked past your car at Combe twice, first time there was nobody there second time there was a few people there wasn't sure which one was you! Lol.
Had a good look at your car it is stunning fair play! Was a nice change from most of the boy racer mobiles there!
