However, as one member said, RCR does stand for RACE car replicas, so we can dream on, I suspect Fran's path wouldn't include this one. F5 "may" re-release it, we'll see.

Doug - I believe that the Spyder was a modified version of FFR's Type 65 Coupe. The Coupe and Spyder shared the same chassis which was a stretched version of the roadster chassis.
You can find partially built Spyders for sale from time to time. The body work on them as well as the Coupe was a far more daunting task than the Roadsters..
