I wont say because I think I know the manufacturer and the story behind it, I think.
Iirc, it was part of an abandoned barn type of find but I can't remember if it was an actual model, prototype or a kit car of sorts.
Was a few years ago.
Absolutely no idea! It reminds me a bit of the Celica from about mid-nineties. Was it a body kit for a Celica?Quote:

here is another view.

Bristol Fighter (automobile) - Wikipedia
Bristol Fighter. Eight litre V10
Or if a two litre V10 sounds good -
Connaught's V10-powered British coupe | Autocar
Bristols were crazily expensive. The only one I have ever seen was on tv, remember the Inspector Lynley Mysteries?Quote:

Saw a 1970-ish Bristol 411 (in Darwin of all places) around 1985.
These have Chrysler V8s. One has a hemi.

It is a Cheetah, specifically a Bill Thomas Cheetah.
Any slotcar racer would know that? Cox Cheetah.

If it's the original, it's not a Reliant Robin. I know that much.
It's a Reliant but the actual model escapes me.
reliant regal.
Its Chinese, during their one child one family period, any bloke with one would struggle to fulfil even that limitQuote:

Back to motors whats the big black monster 5.5 liter block v8
GAZ-13 Chaika...
YES WE HAVE A WINNER
SOME SOVIET LEADERS PREFERRED IT TO THE ZIL, WHILE NOT SOLD TO THE PUBLIC WERE HIRED OUT FOR WEDDINGS
GAZ-13 - Wikipedia
Made in Gorky now Nizhny Novogorod near Estonia
There was one in Laos
citizens were allowed to rent Chaikas for weddings. Chaikas were used by Soviet ambassadors and Communist PartyFirst Secretaries in East Germany, North Korea, Bulgaria, Hungary, Mongolia, and Finland, among others; Fidel Castro was given one by General Secretary Nikita Khrushchev, who himself preferred the Chaika to his ZIL, and kept one at his summer dacha. He also presented one limousine version each to both King Sisavang Vatthana of Laos and Prime Minister, Prince Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia on their visits to the Soviet Union.
For their larger size and more powerful V8, Chaikas were also ordered in some quantity by the KGB. Top speed was 99 mph (159 km/h)
