John Secchi: 1972 F5000 Lola
John Secchi sends these pictures of 1/32 ECRA/BSCRA car from different periods, from
his collection. Awesome!
John writes:
"Not too sure what the story is about this car, I know it ran at Tottenham
Model Raceways in about 1971/72, but its not a typical ECRA car of that period,
as Tottenham ran to their own rules. When I got it, it had a Champion 'Orange Picker'
motor in it that made it an animal to drive on my track, so I replaced it with a
milder shortened 16d with Arco mags, MRRC endbell and Mura D stock arm.
The body is a F5000 [Lola?] of the period and made, I think, by Betta."
