Team Thorp 1983
Team Thorp 1983
Bonjour
I would like to introduce the quite rare machine which I currently restored.
This machine was drove by Mr.Larry Martin ,who was belonged with St.Luice R/C car club from Mid/70's to Early/80's
and was also the member of Team Thorp. He got over fifty titles at the measure race in U.S.A at that time.
This machine is one of the real piece of the team Thorp/ World Championship 1983 in France. It was used many custom made pieces for getting the title.This machine is a kind of proto type before the production.
Team Car is existing just 2 pieces only in the worldwide as far as I know.
Please Enjoy such enthusiastic racer !!

Qand on comprend le principe de fonctionnement (...?) c'est vrai que cette voiture est formidable !!
En plus c'est une voiture à suspension ultra légère !!
Devait bien tenir de l'arrière avec ses bras tirés !!

Hi MK4
Many thanks for your great comment. It's actually the works machine of Team Thorp 1983.
Mr.Thorp's car is still existing in California and given the restoration as well.
Thorp car is very few in the market now,Especially a good condition one.
We should keep our eyes to such endangered species
Merci

Hi simonsg
Many thanks for your comment
Here is the rear wing which I made as the Thorp original spec.
It's made by the Duralumin and has 3 pieces construction.
Enjoy!

Hi tubroboost,turboboost a écrit :en toute franchise je ne trouve pas les thorps très jolies mais celle ci avec son train arrière très travaillé est vraiment une très belle auto, de plus avec son niveau de finition et le rouge de la culasse elle est perfect!
je passe sur la magnifique carrosserie...encore bravo!
Yeah, John was the real creator for construction design.
Even now,It looks so amazing and make us so crazy!
I am quite happy that you could enjoy it a lot!
Merci again!
Have a nice vintage R/C life
