Mystery Vintage CX12 pan car???

Post by Incredible_Serious »

Hey all...

Put this in the 'just because' category.... won this car on eBay recently, and was hoping to properly ID it manufacturer-wise, as my Google search led me nowhere but astray....

Take a look at the pics, and maybe it sets off a memory for one of you guys....

No body, but I do have a NIP vintage body that may suit.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Very nice! You can tell it is "heavily influenced" by the 12e:-) besides the front suspension it looks very "compatible"

Well, the car arrived today.... and I'm no closer to finding any more information on it! The brand on the manual is "Lee's Enterprises", with a UK Patent number, but the box has "Manufactured by Cibie Models Inc., Made in Hong Kong". As expected, a Gurgle search of "Cibie Models" brings up lots of Super Oscars but not a lot else.... lol...

Will get some more pictures up in the next few days.

Gary,

Price was quite acceptable.....

I have a couple of options on a body for it, just weighing up my options at the moment....

Very interesting car, but definitely has the feel of a knockoff.... and should be interesting to drive with a solid rear axle...
