A managed to pick these up for pretty cheap today...
All 3 come with an engine so it can be motorised, and a 1/24 Honda Scooter.
Copyright date on them is 1981

They look rare, a Tamiya motorized car? Its the first i've seen besides RCs....Did they come with just a bomby little motor?

The Skyline and the Leopard might be rare, but the Soarer isn't hard to find at all. It's just an older Tamiya kit. It's still a good purchase in my opinion though.:) I have one on my loooooooooong to-do list.

I remeber them being reissued about 4 years ago and they are still available on Hobby Search
Leopard (http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/GoodsDetails_e.asp?Bno=3213760&Typ1_c=102&Typ2_c=106&Typ3_c=438&SPage=1&SC=15&SN=Search+result+Search+for+%3A+leopard&It_c=10011780&andor=0&scope=0&scope2=0&thumb=1&sortID=1&urikire=1&sort_sort=0&ItKey=leopard&app_url=KeyReference_right_e.asp)
Soarer (http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/GoodsDetails_e.asp?Bno=3213760&Typ1_c=102&Typ2_c=106&Typ3_c=438&SPage=1&SC=8&SN=Search+result+Search+for+%3A+soarer&It_c=10010401&andor=0&scope=0&scope2=0&thumb=1&sortID=1&urikire=1&sort_sort=0&ItKey=soarer&app_url=KeyReference_right_e.asp)
Skyline's not on there though.

Nope, these kits aren't rare, just old (about 18 yrs I think), hence the electric motor.
They're in Tamiya's re-issue program. One of the kits came with a Yamaha Beluga scooter IIRC.
You can probably find 'm all at http://www.hobbyhq.com.au/

i think the Tamiya Jazz model is motorized as well, you can also change the templates to make it either go in a figure 8, a slalom, and a blank one for you to customize.

Thanks guys!
That site above is actually where I bought them from, I got all 3 for less than what one full price Tamiya kit costs.
Cheap Tamiya Kits are few and far between, so I didnt have any second thoughts in buying them, regardless of what they were or how old! :flash:
