It's a bond bug, or was a bond equip or something or other.

Here you go

Personally I like the modded version with the Hayabsa engine in it.  ::) ::)

Edit, just found it on the bay, didnt realise it was the Hayabusa one for sale.

Yay, a bond bug!!!Havent seen one of these for years. Used to be one of those cars that was a bit harder to find in the old "I SPY" books of yore.

Hence the price --- my mate had one of these many moons ago -- could never pull in it -- the girls said it was like getting into a coffin

My ex wife had a bad smash in one of those before i met her.
She was picking fibre glass out of her wounds for days, she still has the scares on her shoulder.
