WHAT?????? £400.00 yer havi'n a laff,maclaren don't even pay that for the real ones.is this true senna????you recon your gonna get that sort of money???blimey you must have seen them commin' no wonder you wouldn't let the forum have them!!!!

I'm not sure I understand what you mean Karl!
I think it's becoming clear that I bought the full kit from Japan, from issue 1 to 65 with magazines and extras.
It cost a fair whack to get me the inters but like anything, something is only worth what somebody is willing to pay.
I don't believe I will get 400 quid for them, to be honest I ended up with 2 sets by default, I'll be putting one set on eBay and see what happens. I don't have a figure in my head.
An seriously, if I could get you all a set I would, but seen as though I'm probably the only person in england with a set it puts it into perspective how rare these area to come accross.

yes mike I agree,common sense rules at last,If you do manage to track down a suitable tyre let us all know,I will try as well,and let everyone know.

Might be an idea to take your tyre source into a new topic so as not to confuse the version being sold here.

A slick won't be suitable for this peiod of car, I believe grooved tyres were compulsary at the time and therefore a slick would be out of place, unless someone knows otherwise..

Karl - I'm not sure what your getting at, again, but if your implying that there was no common sense in the first place I'm not sure why you would think that. I got hold of the tires and you don't have them, if you want them but don't want to pay, that's up to you. I value your thoughts and opinions but please don't insult me saying I don't have any common sense.
As a matter of fact I was just about to take out another sub as I wanted two sets of parts for display and/or collectors items, rather than me paying the sub and waiting I bought the whole kit with the tyres and helmet for less than I would have paid for the whole sub and no tires or helmet in the UK. That's common sense.
It seems your a little wound up by the price tomick has mentioned, correct me if I'm wrong tomick but you were referring to how much I spent on getting the tires to me, and not an indication as to how much I would sell them for.
For the record I wouldn't pay that, but if someone is willing to, it's up to them.
The other set I have we're sent to me by a friend in Japan.

Slick tires - for this car the used grooved tires, so slicks wouldn't match the car on authenticity but I'm sure they wouldn't look out of place.

Oh and the F1 teams pay around £3000 for a set of tires, which is £750 a corner....

I'm not moaning or angry, just felt the record needed to be out straight.

Would it be possible to make resin moulds then cast from there. Im doing this for the Aston Martin rear wings to cut down on the massive weight

Hi Danny.
Any chance of some pics of the tyre rack without the tyres in the way.
For anyone who might want to have a go at scratch building one.
I have spares of the normal tyre and wouldn't mind some sort of rack to display them on.
Thanks.
Ian.

For the purpose of the model they are indeed and come under the overall licence.

Its generally accepted that for your own use it is okay.

The problem comes when items are being copied for the purpose of resale, where if the item has copyright, permission must be sought, for which a fee or cut of the potential business could be requested. In effect this then gives you licence to copy for the purpose of resale. Intended volume also has a large part to play.
