Nope nothing like it!!!:3DSMILE....rear inner is similar but appears glassed in the 3rd picture on the mystery body..and of course it could be the first attempt seeing there are no doors or bonnet cut out..Big Job!!!...still it is BLUE as well...

Hey Boxhead,

From the pics it seems to have a raised ridge at the back.

Search for item# 250567700862
And I thought RCM's required a shedload of work

Thanks for the tip guys, but the car on eBay is fairly different.
The ebay car is a crown chassis, and it is a floppy body with no floor (where as the one out here is a Tub design, similar to CR)

The search is still on.

I did a Google search on the Pilgrim Sumo and the body looks like it could be a Sumo but the frame isnt even close and the Sumo did not have the rear panel glassed in....so its probable not a Sumo.
