Default What's that car?

A friend of mine got hold of a vintage looking car, but we don't have a clue what it is. I didn't hold it in my hands yet, so can only judge from the pictures. What do you think?

Tamiya or Kyosho at a guess.

I could believe it is a toyota celica/porsche 959 tamiya. But not sure it looks quite right.

thanks, but it's no Tamiya Celica/Porsche. I got one myself so I'm pretty sure.

The shocks look like Gold option house, but the car does not appear in the Kyosho catalogues back to 1988.

it's either a Nikko Super Sprint or a Dandy dash, same basic car, few more hop ups on the super sprint, I have 2 dandys one super if you want to compare
Should be 4WD with a Bridgestone belt to a front 3 planet gear diff, an MSC very similar to early Kyoshos with clear cover, and low down positioning for receiver and steering throttle.


Super sprint
and dandy dash
