It'll be going on ebay I think, of no real interest to me.

I worked in Beatties, must of been about, 1986(ish) as a Saturday job, bunch of conners once you bought a car... go in to make it faster, walk out with a parma 15x2 for your grasshopper.... hmmm, won't see them again.

i always remember them being quite steep in the early 90's when i looked in one. Maybe i just had a really cheap local model shop!!

Ahh.
Happy days. I did indeed work for Beatties on a Saturday in Leeds and later in Lester when i was studying down there. As far as i'm concerned it was a great place, great fun and always busy and full of great stuff. I did get sponsored for a very short time and my claim to fame was out qualifying Craig Drescher / Jamie Booth and a few other top boys, way back, when we had an indoor TMS race at batley sports centre. Can't remember where exactly I ended up, but after the first couple of rounds I was 2nd and there were 100 + drivers.... shame I haven't got better with age, quite the opposite. I ran a Parma 13 single with Glyn Peglar cells (SCE's !) In those days we all set off from the start line together. I was in the same heat as Craig D, and clearly remember beating him to the first corner in each heat with my Beatties powered Procat ! Shame they aren't going any more. I think they went under quite a few years ago. |

will have been about 2000/2001 I guess.. I went there to buy a WILD WILLY2 !! - Modelsport was selling it for 120quid at the time, It was cheaper at beatties of course.. I really fancied one and one day when I popped in they were only 65quid !!!!! I couldnt beleive it, so I went back the next week to buy my WILLY and it was 35 quid !!!!! in fact, just about all the kits (hundreds of them) were 35 quid !!!! I ended up with 5 WILLYS and regret not taking out a loan to buy all the rest.
sadly, beatties closed a week later for good. |

Not knowing anything about this I actually thought that it may be older & rarer than is seems to be.
