Hi guys

I discovered this forum, with great pleasure, a few months ago while looking for photos for the restoration of an old Yoko.
I found a lot of information to carry out the work to search for "new" projects to be implemented.
I need to know if someone can give me information on this model

First time I have ever seen one, the Cougar SV looks a bunch like it- What time period is it from? The shocks are throwing me off-

A bunch of MX-4 parts on it, including the shocks: should give you arough idea of the period

I thought mx4 used the yokomo bleeder caps and the different bodies?

the shock's are different from mx4 production, they are just hard ano bodies aren't they.

Yea, those shocks are just the hard anodized associated bodies with the black aluminum caps. The thing that is throwing us off is the lower ball joint and the spring retainers... those aren't associated.

the front shock tower having an extra piece of graphite looks a bit like Cougar 2000

Michaël only built one if I remember correctly and broke it quite bad. So getting your hands on one might be harder than on one of those, but it's even harder to get your hands on none :mrgreen: I think it was developed when AE was working on the B2 and Michaël had great hopes his proto might get attention from them and sell the concept to produce the car, but I guess the B2 already in the pipeline prevented that to happen. A very cool prototype that's for sure.
