Cambria made several fwd 1/12th cars in the late seventies. They certainly weren't a buggy they pre-dated buggies by several years. None of them had a red plastic chassis though, the first ones had a flat aluminium chassis and the later Trackstar had a fibreglass sheet chassis.

The first fwd buggies were the Nichimo Vantage and Spirit FF, from the early eighties, but again they don't have red chassis.
