Sol-Aire CX4

Sol-Aire CX4 Debut Series Mainline Produced 1984 - 1989 (Original) 1989 - 2011 (Retool) Designer Larry Wood Number 5902

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.
