About this example…
✔ New in box
✔ 100% vintage. Made by Kyosho in Japan from 1993 (approx).

✔ Box excellent. Some wear.
Conclusion: This Kyosho Citroen ZX rally car kit is fully original and complete. This is the electric version of the kit (it originally came in both petrol and electric options). The box is very nice – some minor creasing, but nothing major. Everything inside is mint. Decals are mint (any rippling you can see on them is only the plastic bag they are sealed in). Very nice kit. Priced according to rarity, condition, demand, and past examples that have sold.
Please see the photos to understand the condition. Feel free to contact me to find out more.
History
In the early 1990s, the Citroen ZX dominated the Paris-Dakar rally. Kyosho’s Citroen ZX R/C kit was a faithful depiction of the early, yellow, “Camel” sponsored ZX which won the rally in 1991. Featuring a large, detailed polycarbonate body shell, 540 motor, and a versatile and robust rally chassis based off an earlier R/C buggy kit, the Citroen ZX is a striking (and quite large) R/C car which was released in both petrol and electric form. Thankfully, the original “Camel” decals were included in this kit, ensuring that the car can be built to look just like the real thing (even though by the 1990s, cigarette sponsorship had become forbidden in the toy industry). Definitely one of the nicest R/C kits based on a Paris-Dakar rally vehicle.
