Any idea who made the purple body pictured below? The poor quality (and having never seen one before) makes me think low production vintage after market.
It's almost an exact (piss poor quality) copy of the earliest Bolink Digger body, except with wider fenders and the deck lid bumped out to clear the motor. The blue and silver bodies pictured are early Digger, for reference.

Image

It's on a Kyosho/Graupner Minitz type chassis.

Here there's a name vac'd into the body over the rear window, but the poor quality makes it hard to read. Looks like the last letters are ".....mann". First letter maybe a C or G? :?
Image

Any ideas? Me thinks it's from across the pond.

Anybody know what these are? It looks like the second one may be part of a Comm Lathe? No idea on the other? Looks like a bump starter for a gas car or?

It's "bump starter", and it should sit inside a box of curse

Here is something that I just got. Can anyone identify this body? It looks like it could have come from the Mugen Manx, Tamiya Hornet type car of that era. Aftermarket perhaps??

I was going to take a pic of my Pegasus for reference, but it is 6 boxes deep atm. And there it will stay until I get new rear shaft for it ;)
I miss brushed motors in that hazy, everything seemed better when I was a kid, kind of way.

Really? I would not have guessed that car at all. To be really honest I do not remember any Kyosho body coming pre trimmed in any form. This body has slots and holes already cut from the body. I was guessing one of the marui cars perhaps.

Ok, what is this? It is clear that the AE logo is cut into it, but I do not know what it is?
