222 prototype build

Post by Jeffrey Goff »

I was lucky to buy one of the prototypes that Mark used to design the 222 at the first open day in 2007, it consisted of most of the large body parts, parts of the chassis frame and odd bits and pieces, the wish bones were part machined and some of the pivot holes were not drilled, the good news it was only £25 what a bargain, since then Gill has sold me the wheels and tyres, some suspension parts and a pack of fasteners, every thing else I am going to make, I plan on it being a static model but things might change as the build progresses

Merry Christmas, Gill & Mark thanks for all your help
and to all who follow the forum
regards
Jeff

looking forward to your build on the forum jeff, plus i do have the 222 but in a very basic condition purchased second hand and not as a bargain as yours.i have heard the storage boxes in working form for the 222 might be available.steve winstone has the correct box catches for these




christmas greetings simon manning

Thanks for the information Simon, but I will make these items, but if anybody has a 1/6th Storch engine let me know

I had a senior moment it should have been a Horch 3.8l engine
the other one would have made it fly along
