Thanks for directing me towards modelspares. Thats much easier than waiting for one to pop up on ebaytinsleytmd wrote:The pacer could make a nice model but i rememebr buying one new & it was awful it ran like a bag of spanners hated points, corners & just about everything. If you spent around the same price as a new one & bought the bodys from modelspares & extra detailing parts you could build a really nice model which would run like a dream.
