That was as close as I could find too, just since the windscreen/roof was different (possibly modified though) and a few other discrepancies made me wonder if there was a similar kit I didn't see... Thanks for the help!

Will see how I go rebuilding it now I have the instructions (and hopefully enough of the parts!)

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-12-29)

Kit built a jeep or race car. Roughly from the late 80's/early 90's.

Car had a rear differential, wishbone suspension and rack and pinion steering.

Very similar to <http://www.technicopedia.com/8865.html> but I don't think they are the same.

Photo in its current state might have modifications from the original plans though.

**Update** here's it rebuilt, couldn't be bothered finding some pieces in the correct colours though...

Searching for sets containing both 1x6 technic bricks and 6x10 plates in red quickly yields [set 8865](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=8865-1).

[![Instructions for set 8865](https://i.sstatic.net/4ym2x.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/4ym2x.png)

Note that this set came with instructions for two different builds; you seem to have the remnants of the alternate build (seen on the bottom of the cover for the instructions booklet).
