Mardave exploring Meteor re-release

Just over 40-years after it was launched, niche British manufacturer Mardave has announced that the Meteor buggy that it produced up until 1992 could now be a possible re-release option for the company.  Best known for its 1:12 Mini kits, the small produced also previously produced entry level 1:10 buggies.   Having sold the rights and molds for its Cobra 1:10 2WD Buggy to Stack RC last year, re-releasing the Meteor was a little more challenging.  The previous Mardave owner had destroyed the tooling for this low cost alternative to the RC10, which meant new owner Chris Wilkinson always said no to bringing back to the Meteor but now he has hinted that a re-release was being explored.  This has come about due to new production processes evolving so fast and Mardave partnering up with suitable partner.  With retro a big think in RC, fan are sure to be excited by today’s update on social media of a potential return of the kit.

Mardave Meteor UPDATE !!

Hi all as most people know we sold the Cobra tooling and right to produce the Cobra to Olly @ Stackrc some time back . i have had a number of calls asking for the re re of the Meteor. I have always said no to this due to tooling was destroyed by previous owner so impossible. But with tech moving so fast i can say we @ Mardave have decided to venture into exploring the possibility of a return of this Iconic car with a Partner. Once I have more information I will advise, but until such time fingers crossed

Chris
