Hi David,

These kits were made by John Day in the 1970s and are 1/43 scale. I still have several unbuilt but not this one. You can build it as a street version as most were sold that way in full size. No decals needed. Top down how most were in daily use. Even at Le Mans the rules said that the top only had to be up for 1/3 of the race back then.
Nice to see that you have the Corgi.

Thanks, David.  I will put it on my "coming up" stack, which right now isn't going anywhere, doggone it.  Appreciate the identification.

I used to have a lot of the Equipe Le Mans models - they were a sort of improved John Days. But I sold all of them off when handbuilts started getting better.
