Can anyone provide more info on these 2?
The P3 emerged in 1966 and was based on the Chassis of the Compagno.
The P5 competed in Japan Grand Prix and finished 10th overall and first in class.
The car had a 1.3 liter engine that developed 140hp/8000 rpm. Top speed was 245 km/h.
First 3 pics are the P3

Wow these are amazing Bry, and really interesting. Would love to know more. That P5 is a nice looking car, reminds me a little of an Alfa Tipo 33.

Don't know too anything about the either car other than the fact ebbro have modelled the two P3s as Japan GP 1966 versions and 4 of the P5 from the 68 Japan GP (#12, 14, 15,16)

Cheers
