    already being done in Argentina.
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    Hi Gra, I have read about the replica made in Argentina, everything as the original except you have a choice with the ignition system, magneto as original or distributor. regards john.

    Might have to talk with Nissan about that. They purchased the rights to the engine

    Bret, A lot of folks my age either have fallen of the perch or gone senile, even though the joints etc are wearing out, working on models or other wood work is keeping the brain cells active,not like some neighbors ,who sit watching Foxtel and drinking coffee all day. In the evenings, i'll doodle , working out how to make the wheels for the next model which has to be finished by October.
    Still go to go north for a couple of months to keep the cook happy. cheers John.

    John

    Super project and beautifully executed. I'd love to see what you could do with a Type 57SC , but this Type 35 is a classic.

    I love the multi cylinder concept coupled with small displacement engines. Ettore Bugatti was once asked what he thought of the Bentley motor cars and he replied, "Oh yes, Bently, that maker of fast lorries."

    Paul, A great looking vehicle, but my next model will only have top speed of about 10 kph. John.
