Monopole Panhard Formula Junior 1959/2009 - kit
Hand built available JADR4309MA Goodwood 2009 JADR4309MB Coupe du Salon 1959 & JADR4309MC Montlhery
This unusual front wheel driver Formula Junior machine was built by Monopole race mechanic José Carvallo de Oliveira as an afterhours project using parts from the recently abandoned Monopole-Panhard sports car projects. Jade’s references are largely from the restored car which appeared at Goodwood in 2009 and the shape of the body is very good when compared with this but incorrect for the two options offered for the car in period. Photos of it in action at Montlhery are included and the shape of the windscreen and upper cowl is quite different, so if going for one of the originals the filler will need to come out and this area be built up. A shame, as it’s a simple kit otherwise and an interesting subject.

About Jade Miniatures
A well established range of well thought out kits and hand built models of competition cars, mostly from the golden era of the 1950s and 60s. The kits are generally pretty simple with well cast resin bodies, small numbers of resin and white metal ancillaries and a modest amount of etch. In the case of open wheeled subjects, the etch usually includes most or all of the suspension. Hand builts generally well finished. Made in France.
