PP Thin Wall Special - worth a go?

[Andrew Rowland]

Hi Guys
Anyone tried the Penelope Pitlane Thin Wall Special?

I'm thinking to go for it for next year's Early Bird Entry. Looks a bit odd in the photos on te site but it was an odd looking car and I think it might be largely to do with the wheels which look wrong.

Bit it needs to be roughly to scale or i'm not interested.....

I have the PP body kit and would be happy to measure it if you can give dimensions!

The kit is meant to represent the car in 1952 form, but the exhausts are from some time in 1953, perhaps altered at the same time discs were fitted, then later in 1953 the front louvres were replaced/supplemented by scoops, as the car is seen today.

I had great difficulty identifying features on the car at the various times it was raced.

I'll take some pictures in due course and post them.

Peter.

Hah! Yes its a tricky question isn't it!
As with all these cars it is not easy to know other than through photos.
I have two amazing Vandal books and will try to give you some photos of you would like them.
The wheelbase, track and overall dimensional ' feel' could reasonably be said to correspond to the Ferrari 356 which this bodywork was formed around. If you have a Scaley one you might put them side by side to get an impression.
