Sankyo guts buggy
Ascona1
Thank you for the introduction of a very precious model.
Perhaps there are few people to know, and it seems whether it is extremely the few to remain in the world
Sankyo does not make many model cars in the past. So,it is very precious existence.Sankyo was famous as a model maker of the gas-powered metal tanks than the car,that is why ,many of its mechanism resemble it with those tank.
For out-look, 'GUTS-BUGGY' is the form which fused in a jeep and a dune buggy.(The characteristic of Sankyo is solid and is rustic, and it is heavy-duty.)
It is very difficult to find it out even in Japan.
(Also, It rarely appears for the auction.)
There are the existence of 'WILD-JEEP' and 'RACING-BUGGY' else as reference.
