Don't know much about this one John (the 1/12 Tamiya version is more common) - this must be an increasingly rare kit.  This trader is asking over $650 for one!!!!

Now you only have to decide whether to build her or keep as an investment!!  I wish I had the same choice.

I built this kit when I was a kid. Then it was issued by Entex. Revell later reissued it. Its a great kit with lots of superdetailing possibilities. It also looks great out of the box. I think I still have a few parts of it laying around. I used to be in the Emerson Fittipaldi fan club and even had him autograph my Tamiya build.(1/12). This is by far one of the most beautiful looking race vehicles of all time!!

BUILD IT!

The John Player Specials were to racing and Lotus back then as Marlboro was to McLaren for so long in the 70's and 80's. The 1/8th Kit is awesome, even if it is for Emerson. . .Whistling [:-^]
