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

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)

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?

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

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 :wink:

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