      hy mar1,
      the circuit 20 series was sales in germany from Graupner.
      2 modells ,the Datsun Fairlady and the Rowdy Baja was available,also one conversion kit from Graupner with MB 450SLC body.
      on the early 80s the C20 based Leopard this was an 4WD car for competition.

      maybe Heiner Martin (he is an "child" of this time) here in the Comunity can say more. :wink:

      Hi Marwan!

      good to see some old fella TC members up here! From my little knowledge of Kyosho/Graupner distribution I can say that at least

      4- Kit No. 2282 Circuit 20 Fairlady
      11- Kit No. 3046 Circui 20 Rowdy Baja

      were in the Gaupner catalogues. also there's the Toyota Hilux body, but just the bodyshell to be put on the Land Jump, Fairlady and Rowdy Baja.

      Also there's the Impacta Baja, Land Jump, Vanning, etc, but I'm not sure if they are from Circuit20 series.

      cheers

      btw: I could do catalogue scans from the ones I have (innovations 82 + full catalogue 88)

      hello,

      I'm happy to be here, nice place :)

      I think Germany got the following Circuit 20 cars:

      A- 20 Baja Body (Sport buggy)
      B- Fairlady
      C- Rowdy Baja
      D- Lancia Stratos
      E- Racing Baja

      maybe Circuit 20 the holiday buggy and Hilux as a body only.

      Hi Marwan,

      Mh, looks like the Dune Buggy from the Circuit Series.

      In germany all the circuit models are sold by graupner. I have all the catalogs from 1980 - 1985 from them. This model was not shown in one of them. So i be sure it was not sold in germany / europe. Mybe they take only the pic from the japanisch instruction.

      can see a year on the instruction?

      all other parts are shown as graupner parts, so i think it must be a graupner instruction.

      Frank, the manual pages are very similar to Japanese onces for the Circuit Buggy, which is the first in the series and as per Kyosho history page, the Circuit 20 started on 1976 here what Kyosho say about it:

      "1976, CIRCUIT BUGGY. A 1/8 pipe bodied pure racing machine. Included oil-filled shocks. Equipped with the world's first double trailing-arm."

      the German manual scan does not have year or any date, but they are a direct translation from the Circuit Buggy manual;













      I think at that early time (1976) Graupner was not the agent for Kyosho, and the buggy was sold by importers, what do you think?

      Hi Marwan,

      you are correct. Kyosho models where also sold by robbe and other companies. Specaily in the 70's Robbe sold many cars from the kyosho program. But i do not found the circuit buggy in any other catalog in germany. Robbe ended with the RX-100 and the smaller Peanuts Racer with selling kyosho gas cars. So it can be correct that this buggy was sold in germany but i have never seen in by any company.

      You know i have a new car with uncut body from it, but i bought it in japan.

      greetings Frank
