REVELL, SHELBY COBRA Daytona Coupé Le-Mans 08351
		CSX2299
		The Daytona was the coupe version of Carroll Shelby's famous Cobra Roadster. Its aerodynamic body designed by Pete Brock was ahead of its time. Drivers Dan Gurney and Bob Bondurant won the GT class at the 24-Hour of LeMans in #5 in 1964. Assembled and ready to race on 1:32 scale slot tracks. Features: Detailed interior including painted driver figure, rubber tires, multi-color tampo graphics

		Bought for £15 at the Eastleigh slot car meet 2008. Great looker, and would I want the real one!!!!!.

		Chassis: CSX2299 Without a doubt the most important of the six Cobra Daytonas, CSX2299 was the second example produced and the first with an Italian body. It scored a debut class win during the 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans. Two months later Dan Gurney piloted the car to a GT win at Goodwood. Early in 1965 the Daytona 2000 km and Sebring 12 Hours were also added to the chassis' tally. In recent years it has been in collection of the late Larry H Miller, who generously lent the car to the Shelby American Collection museum for display. He also had it raced at the circuits were it had shone in the past. CSX2299 is seen here at the 2004 Le Mans Classic (Bob Bondurant drove the car on the 40th anniversary of his win) and during the 2007 Goodwood Revival.

		I have not done a thing to this car. It's great as it is, however.....



		Mabuchi IL Motor, no idea of the RPM. Could do with better rears.
