It will come as no surprise that I heartily endorse this addition - wonderful subject and model. Even without the Lancia connection the livery alone is enough to justify the purchase.

They are and I thank you. Cool looking addition! Thanks Julio I own and admire that. Fully endorse this addition. I checked out yours before I hit the buy button. Love all versions of this car...from the anemic road-going US version to your 1980 LM car. Maybe said it before, but those printed diorama mud puddles look 3 dimensional! I prefer the race versions by a large margin. That piece of foam board is serving me well. I like those, I need to find them for my collection. The Fruit of the Loom version is quite old. The Lancia Beta Montecarlo is one of those iconic race cars that deserve a place in any racing aficionado‘s collection. The Martini versions are top of the tree for me, but if you can’t find one of those then this red version is a great alternative without paying Spark prices. I don't have Spark money in the pair. It will come as no surprise that I heartily endorse this addition - wonderful subject and model. Even without the Lancia connection the livery alone is enough to justify the purchase. No shock that this one caught your eye.

Great addition Jeff. I cannot understand why PW have not produced the blue #52 (I think that's the right number) that contested LM80. In the end I purchased x2 red PW ones and the decals for the blue #52. Currently one red one waiting in the queue to be converted to blue.

Everyone loves this car! Even I managed to wrangle one into my collection although under a different livery and driven by some character named Villenueve. I have always like this livery. Well done you!

I am hoping they eventually come out with the blue as i do not see a DIY version in my futjre. Everyone loves this car!

Scott Popularity is easy when it involves a Lancia. Next is something a rarely buy, an F1 car. But thins one had too much going for it not to bring it home. Airbox era, Hesketh, James Hunt and crazy wing. Ticks many boxes for me. Just a cheapo PW but I am very happy to have it. 1976 Hesketh 308 B

Love it for the same reasons, plus the insanely simple livery.

I also have this one and two others from the same PW series. All 3 could be used by Homer Simpson's "Mr Plough" business .

Nice add Jeff! I have the Spark version of this car and this PW doesn't look to far off, so great value! I need to make you a teddy bear decal for the front cowl.

Love it for the same reasons, plus the insanely simple livery. 100% Correct! Very nice, brings back memories as I saw it race in period. You are very lucky on that regard. At least Duper Nice! I’ve had its Corgi version for years! Not a car I would expect to see in your collection but I am glad you like it. I also have this one and two others from the same PW series. All 3 could be used by Homer Simpson's "Mr Plough" business . More of a Plow King man myself. Nice add Jeff! I have the Spark version of this car and this PW doesn't look to far off, so great value! I need to make you a teddy bear decal for the front cowl. If you look close there is no comparison but up in the case, I can't tell the difference. I thought it was missing something!

Love the Hesketh Jeff. I have plans for such, watch this space for a deep shadow box frame. Just couldn't resist it for such an icon.

How cool is that Jeff, back in the era when cars came with picnic tables attached!! I can only endorse your decision. I have a few PW models and they are great VFM.

They sure are Scott and I hope they keep doing such interesting subjects. Staying with the PW theme I ran across another must have. I already had one version of this car but wanted this exact car. Driven to a win by Mario Andretti & Jacky Ickx at the Watkins Glen 6 hour in 1972. It really captures a great era in US Motorsports.
