Does anyone have a picture of the CAT 2000 Aerobody Bodyshell (part # U5039P)?

Is the shell shown at the following link an example?

Is this the one you are refering to?

Hello J.M.,

Thank you for the help and nice paint job.

I think it is the correct bodyshell. According to the 1996 catalog (page 18 of 34), there was a listing "U5039P Aerobody CAT 2000 Bodyshell" but I do not know what it looks like. Upon searching, it seems like these are difficult to find.

However, the pictures at the link above have the same bodyshell on a CAT 2000 (I would copy and paste it here but I am not sure if it is acceptable, so I provided the link instead) which probably is part U5039.

From what I have learnt in the past this bodyshell is quite rare. I only picked it up when I purchased a large lot of left over old school stuff from the old Australian importer a number of years ago. At the time I had little idea but I was told after I sold it that it was a rare lexan shell.
I have not seen another since.

Hello J.M.,

Thanks for the background -- explains why examples are difficult to find. Thanks again for posting the pictures.
