Description[]
This casting depicts a heavily modified minivan built for racing, likely inspired by the 1995 Renault Espace F1. It is one of a few vehicles with a special feature: the body can be removed from the chassis. A switch under the back of the chassis can be flipped to release a small lever that allows the back of the body to lift off the chassis. The front end is held on by a small tab. Under the body is a massive blown engine protected by a roll cage that can also be opened. In 2014 the casting was retooled to have a non-removable body.
