It's not really an Omega. It's just a plastic shell made to look like one over a metal frame

Actually, the first picture doesn't look like a space framed body :-\ I reckon the OP's pic is an Omega shell :-\ Yours is as you describe though, a space framed car ;)

It's as Tunnie said, they're all plastic bodies, I think they weighed less than 100 KG too.
