Are these limited edition kits?

I have just found a guy on eBay Germany selling some unusual Tamiya kits. They are unusual because they are variations of cars Tamiya has made but with new liveries, and they do not appear on any lists of all Tamiyas 1/24 scale cars. Anyone know what they are?

These are pretty rare. They are German market only reboxes of the standard and excellent DTM cars. The German Tamiya distributor was behind these. Trev.

though the 2nd pic he posted is 2 boxes put together...dunno y they would do that though. You can clearly see the C in the word Mercedes is off and the alignment of teh boxes are off too.
