1979 Tamiya Sand Scorcher
This incredible off-roader is a full-size realisation of the famous 1979 Tamiya Sand Scorcher radio controlled car. It was one of a handful of full size Tamiya-inspired cars in action at Goodwood.
Unlike the all-electric miniature original, this recreation is based on a Baja Volkswagen Beetle and is powered by a rear-engine 1600cc petrol engine. It belongs to Oliver Ellerbrock who created three Tamiya life-size recreations: the other two are full-size versions of the 1982 Wild Willy and the 1994 Fast Attack Vehicle.
