Austin A110 Monte carlo 1962 #148 by K & R Replicas
With so many classes to compete in, the BMC competitions department entered six different types of car on the 1962 Monte Carlo rally. Class wins were worth valuable publicity, as was carefully placing drivers in cars, on this occasion Sunday Express journalist Robert Glenton, who unfortunately ran out of brakes on a downhill stretch and put the car through a wall. Kit parts are typically cleanly cast, though the style is quite old fashioned, with the side window frames being rather heavy. Otherwise the shape is good and it should build well.

About K & R Replicas
Well cast and easy to build, if rather crude, metal kits. Usually accurate though occasionally a bit odd. Wire wheels of the self - assembly type. Decals, when included, often slightly yellow (typical of many English makers) but will bleach with exposure to u.v. light. Now including a little more photo-etch. Made in England.
