That's a Kyosho F1 car from the early 90's. It was a great car that could compete against the Tamiya F102's and 3's. The two down sides were fragile front a-arms and parts availability. I think they made about three different cars on that chassis, Sasol Jordan, Williams FW14, and I think Ferrari...they also made the Target/Scotch Indy car. I don't know any part numbers and I can't find the chassis designation...sorry. I hope that helps a little.

You might be alble to fit an Tamiya F103 on it. If memory serves me correctly (which is questionable these days) the Kyosho car ws shorter so you might have to do some trimming, and the front wing will need some modifications. As far as a direct fit Kyosho body...google it...if you find one buy it, but it's probably going to cost you some $$$.

Good luck!
