Hi all, I'm sure many of you have seen previous pictures of my Caterham replica, but it is now finished! The finishing touch to the model is the working windscreen wipers. In addition to these, the bodywork is now complete, and there are some seats (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.uk)

Yeah, I know, it's a Caterham but us Prisoner/Lotus fans only admit to one paint scheme. :-) Bruce (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.uk)

What sets does one have to buy to have all the parts neccesarely to build this awesome model? It should be made as an official Lego technic / modelteam set . Really beautifull car. Koen (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.uk)
