Looks like it failed to make the start of Deathrace 2000!

Could be worth the money to a scooby fan tho'.

Nothing that 2 gallons of petrol and a box of matches wouldn't fix.

how cool would it look on 26" wheels, it would be like a caricture of itself. A bit judge dredd?! im tempted, to be honest

Just be aware that it doesn't seem to have a V5 therefore will need an SVA. Might not be an easy job to get through, most (all?) old kits had to have plenty of changes when it was first introduced. Equally I'm sure most people here would have their eyes open and do a good job.

Ho Ho, he's just noticed it's rare (as in 5 made). I hope he doesn't think it will increase the price much, it's not the most beautiful shape in the world

On 26 inch wheels my 6 year old would think it's the coolest full size hotwheels car in the world

Despite what it say's it's called, I sure that was called a Reflex, or summat similar. I remember them though.
That particular example is a classic case of an owner who got it to rolling stage, realised all of the boring/expensive/time-consuming stuff was ahead and got fed up! I saw a Countach kit at one of the few, short-lived, East Of England Showground kit car shows in Peterborough which was at approximately the same stage. Black paint that looked like it had been applied with a broom, god-awful carpeted interior, an absolute travesty!

What I don't get is that somebody has at some point designed that and thought it looked good enough to make real?! A true case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder...

Can see why only 5 were made....

This car is an ebay floater, it keeps bobbing up every couple of months or so - not without good reason
