Description
c1980's British Roadace Replica 1960 G.T.R. Sports Jaguar Mercedes Ferrari and<br>Porsche models. Selling the board shown, I don't know what scale these are,<br>possibly 1:200, they are smaller than the others I have, amazing. There is some<br>loss that isn't evident without close examination. Mercedes and Porsche appear<br>to missing the drivers or the seats, the Jaguar is missing part of the tailfin.<br>Still a great group, extremely rare to find in any condition. Board measures 6<br>1/8" x 1.25", cars 18mm or .75" long.<br><br>Roadace Replicas were made by hand in Mannamead, Plymouth, England in the 1970s<br>to 1990s. Principals were A. K. Dolton and B. E. Dolton. Principal subjects have<br>been sports and GT cars, sports racing cars, and Formula 1 racing cars.<br><br>Models were cast in resin and individually painted by hand, including such<br>details as hood louvers, aperture lines, and spokes on wire wheels. Plastic was<br>used for flat windscreens and occasionally metal was formed and used for details<br>like cycle-type fenders. Most are in a scale of 1/100 though, incredibly, some<br>are even smaller.
