Care to post a pic? What you have is most likely a Flying Point Probe, Jet Probe or the Super Probe. The car is made in Taiwan back in the early to late 90s. Company folded when the boss of the company passed away. I like the probe buggies, it had a very unique rear wing system. Your best bet in getting parts will be on EBAY. I've seen some parts on EBAY before.

thanks for your reply, no name mentioned anywhere, the FP name is on the front shield with Torsen underneath, the car seems to be designed with both front and back arms interchangeable, the wing is not original nor is the shell, the wheel nuts are common engineering types. most of the car is in good shape with a little cut out at the back of the top plate. Have bought this on ebay so will have to keep an eye out. Bought a Brat 350 (ebay) to go with it, just need mounting plate and silencer.

Hi I had a model shop in the 90s and used to sell the FP Probe and still have a selection of spares I will sort them out if you are interested. Regards Ashley
