bought on ebay.fr. will post pics when restored original.

Nice

No really, a lot of people love to hate the Striker, but I've got a bit of a soft spot for it - it's definitely on my wish list ... but way after things like food, the ability to pay bills, and a load of other RC cars

I like the Striker too. But mostly because I see the potential for hopping it up and making it stealthy.
Like Louisbaby's Army Striker for example.
May not be the prettiest car Tamiya made but way cooler than some of the 'space ships' they created.

Looks like this one is in great condition.

NICE...
I'm putting a Futaba FX10 together right now. Pretty much the same car.
These were terrible racers, but great to hop up and beat the gutts out of them in your back yard.
Until now my el cheapo FX10-beater/striker project has been going great.
Parts for these type of buggies[Stiker-ish] are nice and cheap.
BUT I'm 100% crazy mad.....getting ripped off on[shipping fees] some parts from ebay USA I just bought.
BAD FEEDBACK in sellers future can you say......
I hope you got it for a good price.

ciao
