My new YZ-10

A while back I was chatting with an old racer buddy at the track about vintage cars (as usual) and he told me had a new YZ-10 in the box. Well as it turns out is is new built and im not so sure there actualy is a box now but here's a sneak peak at the car Im set to pick up tomorrow.
My friend has assured me this thing has never had electrics bolted in let alone driven and I believe him. There is also a new unpainted bodyset with decals and manual to come along with it.
The price is reasonable (but not a steal) and I am looking to go collect it tomorrow. More pics to come when I have it in hand.
Cheers-Jason

Ha ha.... I didn't think you did shelf queens
But as you say this looks too good to run - new built Yokomos a very few & far between.

Thanks Gaz. We all do ok at times

Well, I don't display them on shelves as such. I keep them away from dust and prying eyes in storage boxes. I like to open a box every now and then and have a peak at some old skool cool.

+1=11!
Jason, that is a real nice find! It reminds me the YZ10 I got given to me, it is also new built with unpainted body but sadly I never got decals with it! One day I will display it!

Ok, so I have my new YZ-10 in hand and I am very happy with the fact it
IS new built and not just a rehash of an old car.
I was a little dissappointed that it didnt come with the factory lexan but what could I do?
I know the body design but dont know its manufacturer or model name. If you know can you please let us all know. Is it a Frewer?
Anyway, I'll let the pictures do the talking. (dust and all)

And now I see you've added another shelfer to your collection in the form of a lovely Marui Ninja
I'm off to reevaluate my belief structure
