Rear wheel arches

[Mike]

There seem to be many variations. Can anyone tell me about this car and/or the slightly flattened rear wheel arches? Thanks

That looks like the original Borrani arch narrow body...standard RCR actually

Also notice the four tail lights ...early Mk1

 

[Mike]

Thanks Fran. Doesn't it look wider though than the narrow body? Is it an original do you think?

Hi Michael

check out this picture of Ron´s RCR. This is exactly the body shape of the green car pictured. As Fran pointed out RCR´s body is a 1:1 copy of original.

Interesting rear vent on the top center of the clamshell, not sure I have ever seen that before

The Gurney bubble is a recent addition.

Question for Fran, Do you have the mold for the quad rear light? or is it an option at RCR?

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Yes its an option for an RCR...I have an original tail hanging on my wall that we used for the mould

Very Similar, if not exactly like 1966 Ford GT40 MkII P/1015.
