Are you for real!!??, I did not think I would ever see the day that anyone would actually want to buy a Sonic Fighter. My son raced one for a year about 12 years ago, Or I should say I repaired and built about 8 of them from a mountain of spare parts that I managed to buy during a drive/ buy holiday tour of Toyworld $5 junk parts bins from Far North Queensland to Northern N.S.W about 10 years ago. So there's little chance of there being any left!!!!!!!.
I built 2 new ones from the remaining bits and sold them to a bloke who lived on Magnetic Island. Good luck in your quest if I hear anything I'll pass it on

Thanks Contact - very kind of you to link to my site.

Beleive it or not ladies and gents - I beleive that "you have to know where you have come from, to know where you are going".............nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia. You would be surprised just how big the collector/nostalgia/vintage market really is. These old cars are a real reality check and tonnes of fun to drive.

I am gratefull that I started driving in an era where the cars were really blinking hard to drive and required alot more "work" to drive successfully and reliably.

Cheers
