Chaparral 2D Daytona

Chaparral 2D made by solido ref. 153 and modified by me to represent the 1966 Daytona 24hrs car (see Chaparral 2D Daytona from a Chaparral 2D LM for more details). Changes included the removal of the periscope air inlet, open rear cowling, different rear back facia and side inlet openings plus installation of a "Flipper wing".
