1/24 SCALE MULTIMEDIA MUSEUM KIT BY STUDIO 27
VERY LIMITED EDITION RE-ISSUE KIT

The 1991 season marked the introduction of the FIA's new and controversial 3.5 liter formula, which replaced the highly successful Group C category that had been used in the World Sportscar Championship since 1982. One of the leading Group C participants was the TWR Jaguar team, who had been crowned World Champion in 1987 and had taken Le Mans victories in 1988 and 1990. But neither of their existing bulky prototype designs provided a suitable starting point for the next generation Group C car. The new design team, led by Ross Brawn (of Formula One renown) focused on aerodynamic efficiency in every aspect of chassis desgin, to match their latest Cosworth F1 engine. A very short nose and a controversial two-tier rear wing resulted, for widest ground-effect tunnels.

After two seasons and six outright victories, the Jaguar XJR-14 was retired from active service. In its first season, the spectacular machine performed to expectation, winning Jaguar and driver Teo Fabi the World Team and Driver Championships.

This outstanding limited edition kit features photo-etched parts, resin castings, turned metal parts, clear acetate, cast metal parts and rubber bits. It builds a stunning curbside racing car to add to your collection. This is a very limited edition re-issue kit — in stock and ready for shipping!

Surf City Model Cars Healey Silverstone
1949 HEALEY SILVERSTONE

Factory hand-built multimedia model
by Midlantic Models (England)

1/43 scale

Everyone now remembers Donald Healey for the famous Austin-Healey sports cars which bear his name, but his reputation was secure well before then. Triumph's technical chief in the 1930s, Healey established his own sports car business immediately after the Second World War, and a whole family of sports saloons, drop-head coupes and two-seaters evolved around the same chassis.

The Silverstone, of which only 105 cars were ever made, was the most sporty, and all today's survivors are regarded as rare and desirable machines.

These outstanding 1/43 factory hand-built models feature extraordinary detail and museum-quality assembly. Detailed interior, beautiful finish on the body work, and outstanding shiny bits are faithfully reproduced.

MSRP: $315
Our Price: $283.89
