Hi
   I have put an advert out as I have fallen in love with the Graupner  Moonraker compared with the boats I once built A Sea Queen with ED radio & a Gannet 15cc petrol engine Also a Patrol Torpedo boat with ED hunter 346 diesel a small Sea Nymph with Mills 1.3 diesel & a RAF crash tender with ED racer 246 cc diesel. The Moonraker is state of the art with a jet system & amazeing radio systems  I don't now have the know how to build one even if I found a kit I went to see Tom Hugills Moonraker & made an offer he said I could have it when he restored it again but I can not reach him by mail or phone so may be he has changed his mind. I am at present working on my house I cant afford a tradesman so I do it myself & I do a bit on my Sunbeam Tiger when I get chance   regards  IAN

Hi Ian, mmm Sunbeam Tiger now there's a car I like. Which type do you own, the soft top the one with the boot. Or the fastback? I used to live in Oldham and if I still did I would ask to pop round and see it. I also like kids cars and have built an electric jeep and Lady Penelopy's Fab 1 and at some point in the future I plan on building a  Batmobile  O0    U2
