Title: Re: another tarbabe??? Post by: leec on March 03, 2018, 16:54:37 pm Why is the R missing in tar babe?
All a bit odd, as there is a guy on the samba who claims to have the original tar babe chassis too. Lee Title: Re: another tarbabe??? Post by: Neil Davies on March 03, 2018, 19:49:44 pm I would say it's a fake, but no idea why someone would build a replica in that condition? Only thing I can think is that someone was building a replica and abandoned the project when the original turned up. I'd like to know more!

Title: Re: another tarbabe??? Post by: leec on March 03, 2018, 20:38:48 pm Have looked at some old pics of tar babe, the gap between the bottom of tar babe and the sponsors names is far too small on the pic at the top of the thread, compared to the original pics of tar babe. I'd say this one is a fake :)
