So was that a Peugot 905? and any idea's on the age approx? got it for $100, maybe that's all it was worth but i really don't have an idea there. Going to refurbish it and get it running again.
Thankyou guy's

Hello,
It's Yankee 596 from 1996 with a lot of options:
Carbon chassis.
Double suspension in front with rolling bar.
Front disk cable brake.
Alloy Front cel plate.
Front and rear alloy shocks.
Steering arms alloy.
Alloy servo plate for gas/brake not original.
Missing the chain and the sparkplug cover?
Body shell are Audi A4SuperProduction , Peugeot 406 SuperProduction, Porsche GT2 (wheelbase 480mm).
The rest is straight as the original model, the wheelbase is 520mm, no diff alloy case (optional). Servo TurnForce
I have the same car, for more info go to Yankee Website.
Very good car.

But I only know one Yankee that came with a carbon fiber chassis, the 905 I could be wrong, you might have a home made chassis board with a cut pattern i've never seen on a Yankee? Also the rims look that of the 1/5 scale? So my answer is I don't know?
Hello, The carbon chassis was made by Tecma outsourcing company for the carbon parts of Yankee. That's you have on your 905

Wow thanks heaps guy's, that was a whole lot of help.
Still after another drive chain, think the one is a little streached, about to start cleaning it up to get going soon anyway, Just looked too good a car to let up.
Thanks again guys, it is very much appreciated
