I was looking for one of these old F103 body sets which are now, like almost anything F103 related, hard to find. In the end I found three in a model shop in Europe, so bought them all! These were a re-release in 2008 of the same named body set (part no. 50898) from 2000. The 'M' means it is a McLaren, and this one is the McLaren Mercedes MP4-13. I'll use one for my F103 15th Anniversary kit. It comes with unbranded decals, which is the main difference between this body set and the one that came with the original F103RS car kit (58235) and body set (50833).

Tamiya released a few body sets like this from around 2000 onwards, i.e. an original shell from early models, but with unbranded decals. Here's the list I have from a few years back. Maybe there are more!
