Brian and Ian,
I know very little about the Norseman, as there is hardly any information
available on the ill-fated show car, but I believe there was no drivetrain
in it whatsoever. The 1/43rd scale white metal model was made by "Great
American Dream Machine" a few years ago in very limited quantities (probably
less than 100 pieces). I have one in my collection and there's photos of the
model on my website. Here's the link:

Look' pages of the model section. Hope this was some help.
