One of the very first Kyosho models...

It seems we all missed this one, if I had known, I would have bid on it, massively... I really think it was sort of a bonanza for the winner

I was watching that one. Would have loved to won it, but too much for me at the moment. I have the Lola T70 Dash, same box different body (which is lexan). It really is a great piece of Kyosho history. I would like to own the 917 though..... gotta love those Porsches.

Great find. I used to have a KYOSHO Miss Willie. I think, as far as I can remember, it had a Mini Cooper body. Some how, because of my stupidity, I was puting stuf inside my car and placed the car (RC) on top of my car, thinking I'll just grab it when I'm done loading. Well, gues what? I forgot about it. I drove for maybe a kilometer when I realized...?...WTF...my little car! Drove back...it was gone.

Hope I can find one again.

That is definetly a neat old car. I wonder from what year it was made. My oldest Kyosho car is an onroad carrera

I bought it because the auction had no picture and it said old 1/12 scale porsche. I took a $17 chance that it was an old Tamiya 934 or 935. In any case it's a pretty cool little car.[/img]
