My friend has been busy building a car and has acquired a body that he wants identifying (he thinks it's a parma of some kind) and if you could give him the year it was produced that would be good. i know one of you lot will know what it is, so if you could help that would be great, cheers.

Is that painted SILVER or is that Aluminum?

If thats all metal, All i have to say is DAMN!

Definitely Parma Chenowth. One of the last bodies I actually had on my first gold tub WAY back when.

Funny story about that car, now that I'm remembering. I worked at a little crappy hobby shop when I was 16 and sold that car to someone who was interested in a used RC10. I intended to buy a new car from the shop, but when the shop owner found out I sold my own "personal" car instead of his merchandise, he fired me on the spot. I actually laughed in his face and told him where he could go. I wound up working part time at a competing hobby shop a year or so later, and driving as much business away from him as I possibly could. Toad.




Actually, I'd like to have that car back now.

Oh, yeah, the point of that story...

I was 16 when I worked there—so the body was from about 1986 or so, if not a couple years earlier.

wow; and now that car is located in the UK, long trip accross the ocean in between

No, by "that car" I meant the car that I was referring to—my last gld tub that I raced as a kid.

cheers for that guys.
