When I raced 1/12 and 1/10 pan in the late 80's and early 90's the cars looked like real cars (Nissan GTP, Jag XJ10/12, Porsche 962, etc. Now they look like charicatures. When I saw a Speed 12 body on display when I was checking out getting back into the hobby I had to ask about it--no way I figured that was a ROAR-legal body. Surprise.

I have no problem giving up some aero advantage. Anyone know where some "old school" bodies are still available?

That car is a lucas agitator. The car was based on a delta p-12 spider. The
The car was bascially after market parts made for the Delta P-12. They also had a tenth scale car based on the Delta vilan.
I have a p-12 one with the rear shock struts. I will try and scan the add for the car from an 80"s magazine.
