The first car I swear I have seen somewhere on a Japanese website. There was a time when a lot of one off or low volume F1 cars seemed to be out there in Japan.

It may be unique.

Here's a car of that genre, I think it's a K Factory

The first F1 likely is a Tamiya F103 with a third-party chassis conversion set.

The second one is a Cross Fire Force with the T-bar conversion Cross made that allows the use of a Tamiya-style pod (the regular Fire Force has a link-style rear suspension). By the looks of it it also has the hard-to-find alloy upgrade parts on the front end.

I´d say the green wheels are BMT and the yellow ones, Serpent.

The car in the middle is definitely a Schumacher C-Car - SPC Eurochamp version. On the right, a Mardave MKII stock car? And on the left, most probably a Kyosho model?

Check out this listing on ebay - only $15,000. The transmission is amazing! Listing says Simprop? Can anyone confirm the brand and model?
