Sorry to split hairs, but it's not the only 6 wheel F1 cars to have been produced. March 2-4-0 , Williams FW08B & Ferrari 312T6 all 6 wheels as well, but never raced in anger. Andy

Hi Andy, You are of course right, (in keeping with the split hair theme ) but note I don't say "produced", but rather "F1 history", as strictly speaking the 3 you mentioned were only ever experimental cars, and never entered into a grand prix - so I guess the kwezjun iz: if they were never entered in a race, could they be seen as part of F1 history? But speaking of strange F1 cars, does anyone produce the Brabham Fan Car in plastic? Rudi

Rudi You win Don't think the fan car has ever been done, would be interested if they ever did. Made the 1:12 Tyrell (probably badly) as a 13 year old, would love to have a go again, maybe have to do the 1:24. Andy

I'm pretty sure that the Fan Car was done by either Model Factory Hiro or Studio-27 many years ago. Chances of getting one would not be all that good, and it would seriously hurt the wallet if you did find one. Andrew
