Hi Gravel.

I'm probably wrong... But I would guess an old 1/43 Artin?

I would dig a little deeper and remove the body screw. The body might say something inside once the chassis has been separated from the body.

I was going to say the same. Lloyd's your man for a definitive answer though, I'd have thought.

P.S. It looks like it might be loosely based on a BMW M1 - maybe - although it has Ferrari-esque elements to it too.

Do the Ferrari styled stickers define it as such?

Thanks for the replies!

I did remove the body and there wasn’t any numbers or writing. I forgot to take a photo though.

I received this item with the stickers, so I’m not sure if they mean anything.

Hello Gravel.1

I have a couple of these. As above they are Artin 1:43 scale cars based on the Ferrari 365BB. Yours has lost its side air-scoops.  Its successor the 512BB only has four tail lights.
Does your car have the wacky sound-box thing ?

Thank you Leo! 

I’m not sure what the “wacky sound-box thing” is. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks again everyone.

Just realised that your car does not have the lighting that mine has.  I have a red car but no idea where it is.  The sound-box sits over the rear axle and has a small metal tongue that runs against a triangular bit on the rear axle so it generates a sort screaming buzz sound. 
I'm not sure if these cars have 6 or 12 volt motors so be careful if the motor is a bit manic.
