Went to my parents for tea this evening and my nephew was playing with some of my old toy cars. One of which was this one, but between my Dad, Brother and me we could not decide what Group C car it is, and the underneath didn't give any indication either.

My initial thoughts was a Porsche 956, my Dad's was an Aston Martin AMR1 and my Brother's a Lola. I'm not convinced.

Over to you, PH...

This is going to sound very geeky but it's a Sauber Group C car. Have one in a drawer at the office, but different colours.

I can't help but think I'm wasting my lurker bonus on something as trivial as this but here goes.

It's a sauber c1. I had 2 as a kid one in white, and this one with 'lazer wheels!'

Oh i'm John by the way, hello all.

Still can't work out how to post pictures - but a google search for sauber c9 will hopefully show you what I think is the car in question.

Looks more like it! It has the vents above the front wheels and the same wing
