I agonized long
and hard over the Kyosho Porsche 936 – because it was being sold for P1200 – I
was later able to haggle it down to P1000... It’s expensive but I’ve been after
that for over a decade now! I don’t want to go home regretting not buying
it, so I went for it....
It’s a
beautifully made model of a beautiful (and successful) race car. The real
one is below, at Le Mans in 1978, Jacky Ickx at the wheel. His co drivers
were fellow F1 drivers Jochen Mass and Henri Pescarolo....
The Majorette BMW
Turbo is funky in design – notice what looks like a shifter on top (rear)....
plus there are lots of gears inside... Apparently
the Majorette Motor
line was aimed at Darda. Just like Darda, Majorette came up with a patented motor as well... mine is not working :)
