News from Autograph

[Ton]

This week I got an email from Uli from Autograph about a new project. Autograph manufactured the transkit for the F40 Pocher ( http://www.scalemotorcars.com/forum/...ocher-f40.html)

The project Uli started is a 1:8 Le Mans winner and is in aluminium, metal, brass, white metal and german silver.
The body will be made in aluminium and completely painted - no paint job necessary. The engine will be in metal. Here are some appetizers

Engine parts. Engine is completely from metal, brass, white metal and german
silver.





Part of the front axle



chassis, tyres and other parts



Frame will be soldered together from pre-cut tubes and photoetched parts on a photoetched jig

Anybody, any idea what car this is?

Hello Ton,

engine is definetly Jaguar. I'm not sure about the frame. Betting on the Jaguar C-Type.


Cheers

Looking at the engine and the tires, I'll say a Jag D-type

[Ton]

Michael is spot on: the Jaguar model C is the project Uli is working on

How many will be offered ? And what sort of price range?

Very exciting! Time to contact Autograph and start saving.

Sean,

The price will be about €3000/$4000. I don't know the number of cars that will be manufactured. But it promises to be a exciting kit like jarrow says!

He is also working on some full F40 engines with resin parts and all the parts of the full autograph engine trans kit. Should be cool.

I have seen those frame pictures before on the web somewhere, so it can't be all new, but it looks very nice.
