Interesting.

Very many fascinating and innovative race cars went that way.  No longer competitive they had all the usefull speed parts removed and were then sold on or scrapped.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

The rather pokey engine that I built for my drag racing Imp ended up in a sidecar racing outfit, but with TJ fuel injection. :)

The body shell just rusted away. Rather rapidly too, as it was an experimental lightweight body shell pressed from .028" material mostly.

Not so much to rust away of course. :(
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Kit
