I just bought this chassism on ebay to my ever growing collection of non-LASCM quality, but weird and wonderful slotcars :-)

 

It it surely a cousin to the Riggen grp.22 chassis, but had additional hinges built in:

 

 

 

 

On the picture above it is shown with the Riggen grp.22 chassis for comparison. I t has a Riggen guide and Riggen front wheels. Gear is Aj's - I dont think the motor and rear wheels are standard.

 

Does Anybody has some info on this chassis/car ???

 

- was it sold as chassis only or as a complete car ??

Niels,

Riggen had two different chassis, both by AYK Aoyagi in Japan, and produced RTR models with them in 1970-1971, motorized with various Mura G12 to G20 motors. Yours is the second version. You can see both as RTR models on the period Auto World catalog. The so-called "7-hinge" chassis as you show is a bit scarcer than the more common model because they sold out in period, unlike the other of which many were left over and have been marketed by REH to this day!
