Description
This casting has been identified as being loosely based on Aston Martin and Nimrod's "NRA/C2" Group C GT racer, which was introduced in 1982 and had a reasonable if patchy career both in Europe and the USA. The Sol-Aire CX4 has been often mistaken with the GT Racer. This has also reminded people of 24-Ours, as it shares a similar body type.
