Funny that they chose another Moffat car for the second release. Will probably have to grab this one too. Few enough Aussie cars available.

Looks nice, I really like that body shape.

But I even like the Leyland P76 so I'm not a great judge of these things :?

Hahahaha.... Now there's a project for you Gareth. A resin P76 on one of your wallowing chassis. I'd want one.

I really like the look of these. I don't know how they'd fit in with the period that I enjoy running, but I may have to nab one eventually.

Embs,

Moffat sells cars, thats why they chose another Moffat livery. Not sure why they went to the trouble of placing the headlight covers on the XB?? Im 99% sure he never had those until the XC. Wheres KK when you need confirmation of correctness with anything Moffat related.

cheers

Oh, I'm not complaining about another Moffat car. He's my favourite Canaussian, aferall.

I'm still hopeful for a Goss special somewhere along the line though.

Yep the '75 Goss car would make a fantastic livery in 1/32. In fact I think the early Brutt33 livery would be better than the dark blue one presented here.

cheers

Nice looking car but it doesn't fit with the rest of my fleet as I have no other period Aussie race cars.

Bob, there simply aren't many other period Aussie race cars. It's this or the Toranas.

I know it wasn't in the series but it fits in nicely with T/A cars. One of the reasons I got the first one so if you have a T/A class you could use it there also.

Lee (Listerstorm) bought this car at our local hobby shop when he visited like Doc mentioned.

And it all depends how strict you will be at your track/club. Like he said, we raced it with the Trans-Am cars. Fun car and with a little tuning for the wood it was a good contender.
