my girlfriend thinks i am bonkers looking at 15 year old toy cars that sell for a thousand pounds.
It is bonkers really!  Was the top force a racing success?

It was only British 4wd champion in the hands of Jamie Booth, that's all. Didn't "Team Tamiya" consist of JB, one Alan Harman and Steve Haynes if memory serves.

That looks like a Avante or Avante 2001 with Egress shell? It has Avante suspension arms and Avante 2001 FRP chassi.
Nice!.:-)

I saw these on ebay a while back, people really pay high $$$ for something like this.
Oh and I read on tamiya club that Avante parts do not fit on it, so parts are pretty hard to get. That said people that own one dont even run it. But there was a couple stray videos on youtube were someone put a 5.5R Novak system in one. Id be afraid to.

I remember when the Avanti came out, man the hype was huge and the car looked very impressive. I thought it would be a sweet racer but in the end i think it was far too over engineered. I have always liked these particular cars but i dont think they make very competitive racers when you have Procat's,Dog Fighters and Lazer's to compete with. I'd like to be proven wrong and they may look the dux nuts but not sure they can keep up with the more proven cars of their time.

I'm a bit confused with the Egress pic above, My brother had one, and Steve 'Old Dog' Haynes also raced them at our club all those years back.... And you're right about not being able to afford them then let alone now. Anyway, I remember them being like in the pic below, (A photo from the net) not with plastic suspension parts as on the one above. It was the Avante that had the plastics, wasn't it?

Identification required....
Time to bump peoples ego on their Tamiya Knowledge - what is this - I was thinking an Avante 2001? I brouht it with a few other bit's a few years back, I was going to use it at a club night now and then, as suggested earlier, just to see how far chassis have or have not come on...
