List:
Someone noted that this plastic model was a Gyuze Sanyo (I know that
spelling is close, but wrong, but I don't have the name handy) product and
they are right, and yes it is a 1:24 scale.
The company built several versions of the model, a consumer model and racing
version. Either are the same except that the box art is different and the
racing version has a few more parts. However, the racing version has both
the parts for the racer and the consumer configurations. The model was also
built in moth a low and high tech version. The low tech is all plastic.
The high tech has a metal frame and a few other metal parts but the body is
plastic. The lo tech should be in the $20 range, and the Hi tech in the
$40. The hi tech makes up to be a beautiful model, but the bending of the
metal frame is very tricky.
The company also built a TR3, TR3A, and a TR3A racing edition. The in the
TR3 packaging you will often find both parts to build either a TR2 or TR3.
The company (the one that I can't spell) also made models of several other
LBC's including a bug-eyed sprite.
Some hobby shops still have all of these models on the shelf. You may want
to try http://ewacars.com/ , Triple-C, or Phoenix Models. I have lost the
websites for the last two, but try a search engine. Often Phoenix Models
will have older kits that are no longer produced.

Hi list
Barry, I would love to get a TR2 model too. I would not ask you to give up
yours, but if there are any available, I would love to find one.
