For Sale: From Steve Betney comes another of his superb pieces of model making. Here’s my concept model of how Donald Canpbell’s final Bluebird LSR car might have developed after the mock-up version of the CMN8 single rocket engine car was abandoned and scrapped. Mine has two engines, and is somewhere between the successful Thrust SSC and Spirit of America cars’ overall configurations, but painted blue, of course. I’ve designated it the CMN8A. |
 |
|
There’s well over 200 hours of work gone into making this finished model, and though I love the look of it, I really don’t like all of the electrickery that goes with operating EDF power (there’s no whiff of diesel fuel with it), so I’m offering it up to a new owner, ready to go or display as desired. |
|
|
It comes complete and ready to install the 2200mAh battery (2 provided) and 2 50A ESC’s with their programming card, and a 2.4GHz miniature RC. receiver, which all squeeze exactly into the two compartments in the slim body/fuselage, which has cooling ventilation louvres in the removable top part, as well as air scoops in the underside. The two 40mm PowerX EDF’s are ready installed in their carbon fibre nacelle ducts, with wiring and bullet connectors. All parts are new, and the LiPos have been maintained by storage charging whilst building the car and have never been discharged. All 3 wheels have ball bearings and are runnable. |

Additional photos are available if needed, just contact me at stevebetney(at)aol.com The length overall is just short of 20” and the maximum width 7”. Price is £300 plus postage for this genuinely unique working model, which is just less than the itemised parts’ cost to me; my 200 hours work are FOC. |

Oliver Castings
We are delighted to be finally able to reveal the results of a project that has been on going for a number of months to make the entire range of Oliver castings available again. OTW has known of the plans for a while, but now, Ian Harper has everything in place to supply castings for these iconic cars. Most importantly, these are not 2nd or 3rd generation castings, but from the Oliver/Howlett originals, and at a very competitive price. We have to applaud Ian for making this happen and making the castings available again after a significant hiatus.
|
The Oliver model car bodies are available once more from me “Ian Harper”, a recent convert to Tether Cars, having purchased the original body patterns from Paul Ironmonger. I obtained a good deal from a local and friendly Black Country foundry enabling me to offer sets at a reasonable price bearing in mind recent cost increases in power and aluminium prices. I intend to extend the range with a Vanwall and maybe one more in the near future preferably British, your advice is always welcome. Photos show the complete line up of castings and most of them built by John Goodall except the unfinished Bomb. Alfa Romeo, BRM (with re-contoured intake), Ferrari, Maserati, Mercedes and Tiger 2.5 are all priced at £130 a set of top and bottom halves, with Bomb and Bottoms Up priced at £110 plus £10 shipping in UK only. Please enquire actual shipping cost if outside the UK. Please contact me Ian Harper at Telephone 07840 389274, or email ianharper1961@gmail.com Thank you. |
