Mardave Meteor LWB Prototype
 This is my nearly complete Mardave Meteor project. This car is fitted with a Mardave prototype chassis, Kyosho gold shocks and a copy of Greg Halliday's rear shock mount as featured in Radio Race Car June 1990. Tyres are original Schumacher Mini Pins just as I used to race at Hereford Shire Hall back in the late 80's. It's taken me a long time to build this car, utilising as many parts from my original Meteor as I possibly could. The wheels front suspension, gearbox and rear suspension are all original from the car I used to race, the original chassis was destroyed as part of my final year school project in 1991. The prototype chassis was a very lucky find, there can't be many of these out there? This chassis is notable because it has mounting holes for both the Meteor and the Cobra gearboxes. I think I remember Scott Raynor using a prototype Cobra gearbox at some nationals in 1989/1990? Anyway I love Meteors, they were such a great, reliable and inexpensive car that you could modify to your hearts content. So here it is my ultimate Meteor.

Wish id kept in touch with Kristian Wiles as he drove and tested the Cobra and leant me his car to test at an event and liked it, understered a bit much for my liking but made the A with ease. Great car for a budget price

wasn't the meteor available in short and long wheelbase versions back in the day anyway? I seem to recall it was, but I'll have to check old Radio Race Car issues to verify.
Mardave now is under different ownership to the original company, and so focussed on their GT12 circuit and banger racing.
