I also stripped the wheels of their chrome and painted them dark red. I used a Ninco driver's body but used an Airfix soldiers head as they have far better detail. Getting the Ninco wire wheels and axles adapted to the EJ chassis was the real revelation. So all you have to do now is cut the axles down in length to minimise sideways play. Fit the guide, wire it up and it is ready for the body to be fitted.
Performance is great with the longish wheelbase, low centre of gravity and good grip in the tyres.
Since writing this note Ninco have released their own version. I have a problem with this car. I remember Robert Schleisher in his book doing a conversion on one. I had a fairly recently reissued Lindberg unmade kit but sold it because it didn't look right. Well I found the body only at a recent National Scalextric Collectors Club swapmeet.
