Here's something special!

From the early 2000s Mamod gave us here at Forest Classics a number of pre-production prototypes of models they were going to release. This was to get feedback from the public at shows and toy fairs we were attending. We are now selling them in the used model section of our website, and they will all be listed shortly.

The first one we're listing is this pre-production prototype Mamod Le Mans Racer available at the following link - https://forestclassics.co.uk/product/prototype-mamod-le-mans-racer/

We love it when we randomly come across videos of people using our very own Bix gas conversion kits. Check out this cool Wilesco setup powered by a Bix 016 gas tank feeding a Bix 009 burner!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
