Whoops, forgot about the trucks [:I]

What is a Procat SE? We never got them in Australia.

They also made a wheelie car around 1994/5 called the Wildcat Vyper.

It was basically two pieces of yellow FRP with a solid rear axle, no rear suspension, a 540 motor and a single piece of semi flixible red FRP acting as a combined front axle and suspension system. There were also 2 little plastic wheels at the back acting as a much needed wheelie bar.

True to it's name it had a cartoon styled Dodge Viper body with a driver and a passenger moulded into it. Kinda Wild Willy style.

It was dirt cheap and took about half an hour to build. It wheelied everywhere just like a Lunchbox and was surprisingly fast too!

Its one of these (thanks for the pic Jimbo)

Its a discontinued Procat with Bosscat shocks and wheels. I suspect it was to clear stocks of Procat kits as everyone was waiting for the Bosscat at the time.

There are a lot more cars, ny list was what I thought of at the time. In the early 80s they made their own version of the Bolink Digger buggy, which looked like an oversize 'C' car. There was also a range of 'Club 10' cars which were older Cougars and Bosscats repackaged as cheaper beginners buggies and touring cars, the Wildcat Vyper and Mini, and a range of tourers based on a basic Bolink Rebel style chassis.

And then there is also the range of IC cars as well, including an early circuit car which was a pro 10 pan car with an engine bolted in the back.

Don't forget the Bosscat Works[8D] and the Cat 2000 SE.
