MF40 body

Post by JackieOliver »

this ride is still not complete, but as I ride it still to long and see no end till here
I decided to show what I already have...
I'm proud to present my two original MF40 bodies, one in fact driven from Gerhard
Frühwirth, the european champ in 1/4 races from 1992. It's not the high qualtity
as Frank's bodies but it represents the scene how it begann.
And now my two beauties......

Please never write or say F40 again.
It's very similar to F40 but not 100% matching. The bodies were originally designed to fit the
DWA cars and then used for the MF40 which name derives from Modelengineering Frühwirth
in Austria. So it's in fact a MF40.
The two I have are not for sale but I have in mind to make a molde. If I have ever done no
prob to get a copy. For sure poor quality....

if you need a 1/4 or 1/5 F40 body, maybe you just have to wait mould to be ready... :wink:

I have to clarify that I'm not involved in such intrigues!!!
Gerhard allowed me in person to copy the bodies but not in Lexan,
this is alone his job...
I don't want to blow it with him, he has much more to offer than only these bodies...

oh Frank, don't take this to serious...
You can imagine that Gerhard himself would be interessed to produce MF40 bodies again,
but everything under 100 pcs. is not his thing.
But I want my MF40 chassis from him and so I have to stay away from that projects.
There was also a Porsche 930 Turbo body from Wolfgang, a friend of Gerhard. Gerhard
is the best address I know here in my region, why go far away when the good is so near?
