Surtees TS7 - John Surtees - 1970 Oulton Park Gold Cup

[David Mitcham]

The 1970 Oulton Park Gold Cup marked the only win for the TS7, John Surtees winning the two heat race on aggregate from Jochen Rindt in the lotus 72. I chose this version as I was there marshalling.

My original master in tooling board was moulded and cast in resin by John Warren. The chassis is brass and wire attached to the Policar motor/gearbox pod. Decals are by Kevin Osborne.

Best wishes

Wonderful, David!
The best of these type of cars is the rear / motor compartment. Lots of details you can add, if you know, what to do. And, as we can clearly see, you know it!

Best regards,
Taffy

Many thanks Taffy. One of the best bits of building a car is working out how and what to add as detail. Who would have thought the fishing line could be so useful.

Fishing line? Oh, YES, I see! Thank you for this recommendation!
I agree with you: finding useful materials is "das Salz in der Suppe" (the salt in the soup) in our hobby.

Best regards,
Taffy
