AYK "ascar"

[GJW]

is there any pic's or knowledge out there on the ayk ascar buggy? i hear it was a special release by ayk only in japan

[Mr. ED]

I once posted an ayk car released in Japan only: it was a special build for some design school.
I think I posted it in the ebay section so it would be long gone now, sorry

[GJW]

trust you to know the car ed ayk only released in japan, yes that's what i'm told also, didn't know about the design school though. ill update this thread soon

[Mr. ED]

I don't know the name of the car, but seems likely we're talking about the same one.
Do you have a picture; I should recognize it when I see it (though I've never seen the body for it)

[GJW]

it's on its way from japan as we speak mate, pics up in a week id say

your knowledge is certainly up there

[Mr. ED]

your knowledge is certainly up there

Not really , I think it was kustomizerz who identified it for us when I posted the picture for identification.

I found the pics on my laptop! Is this it?

that's it alright, thanks very much for finding the pic's it's very kind of you. tak "kustomizerz" has a lot of knowledge that's for sure.

very simple buggy and certainly different, lot's of radiant parts

I wouldn't like to have a frontal impact with that car...would get all bent up.

[GJW]

ok here it is, very happy to have this seeing it's rare as buggery the body is very space age
keen to see if someone else own one

[GJW]

PS forgot to mention the tire's in this kit are non goodyear edinger tire's, front's are 7 rib

[Mr. ED]

oh boy, are you gonna resist building it? If you 're not going to build it I hope you can make some scans from the manual

[GJW]

yes mate i can resist, i can just look at the one you posted up to see a built one thanks again for that effort, yes i can scan in the near future my scanner is in storage for the time being bit of a different buggy hey ed!

[Mr. ED]

You should contact the guy with the AYK museum site: I think he missed this one in his time-line.

I can't say I'm the biggest fan of this design but it sure is a true collectors item.
How did you get this; from yahoo auctions Japan? If my memory serves well this was never for sale in Japanese hobbyshops or any other place except for that school.

erik i did email alex the same week i heard of the buggy myself, but no reply as yet as i would love to hear what he say's.

the design suck's for sure mate, but it's still super cool and i'd bet my left leg it's the only one in australia. i show a lot of my car's (big effort loading the car up) to fellow vintage fan's at our local track, bet they haven't seen this

only for sale to the school, wonder how many were made then! might be way rarer then my jealousey now that excites me

[Mr. ED]

'my jealousey' Ok, now you 've got me really jealous
