This Cooper T51 was taken over By an Italian team with an I-4 Ferrari Squalo engine. The engine was under powered and a bit heavy. The team re-named the car the Castelotti after the famed Italian driver... I started with the Marx Hong Kong toy which is a beautiful 1/24 scale! And so I reached into my deep spares box and found another bunch of parts to represent the Cooper suspension, a seat, a steering wheel, wheels, tires, and so forth. So, from a toy to model car... I love doing this kind of switch!! Patrick

Looks great, Patrick. Are you putting mirrors on it?

I need two Raydot style mirrors. They must have fallen out of my spares box!! I'll wait until I come across some. Patrick
