I like a hybrid, but....
Looks like somone has put a lot of time and effort into making such a mess. For posterity - An XR311 chassis that has been fitted with a Rough Rider body and rear wheels, along with other "modifications". |

Spotted this mk.2 Scorcher (surely the most common of all the SRBs) up at a fixed/Buy It Now price of 300 GBP (plus 15 GBP domestic postage) on eBay ... at that price I debated whether to post it in the "How much?!" thread, but in the end I thought that didn't quite capture the incompleteness of the chassis and body (and the ineptitude of the "repairs" done to it) - or the apparantly completely deluded thoughts of the seller...
Highlight of the pics, + the listing title, condition descriptor + text, for posterity: "VINTAGE TAMIYA SAND SCORCHER RC RADIO CONTROLLED CAR BEETLE ORIGINAL ATTIC FIND YOU WILL NOT SEE ONE LIKE THIS AGAIN..ULTRA RARE HI AND WELCOME YOU ARE BUYING A LOVELY TAMIYA SAND SCORCHER BEETLE RC CAR THIS IS DATED I THINK FROM THE EARLY 1980S AND IS A RARE PIECE CHASSIS IS METAL AND LOOKS IN REALLY GOOD CONDITION HAS WHAT LOOKS LIKE A GEARBOX AT THE BACK SEEMS TO HAVE HAD A SMALL REPAIR ON THE CHASSIS THIS HAS BEEN STORED FOR A GOOD FEW YEARS AND HAS BEEN LEFT IN ORIGINAL STATE IT WAS STORED IN THE PICTURES SHOW EVERYTHING U WILL RECEIVE AND I CAN TAKE MORE FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS THEM IM NO EXPERT SORRY AND WILL TRY TO HELP THE BEST I CAN IVE ADDED A CONSERVATIVE BUY IT NOW AS IVE SEEN NEWER MODELS SELL FOR MORE THAN WHAT IM ASKING THIS IS RARE, I SEARCHED FOR HOURS AND COULDNT FIND THIS ONLY SIMILAR MODELS OVERALL THOUGH I WANT THIS TO GO TO SOMEONE WHO WILL APPRECIATE IT LOOKS IN OVERALL GOOD BUT DUSTY CONDITION PLEASE STUDY PICTURES TO SEE WHAT U GET WORLDWIDE POST AVAILABLE POSTED NEXT DAY OF CLEARED PAYMENT BY RECORDED DELIVERY LISTING A FEW COLLECTIBLE ITEMS OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK THANKS FOR LOOKING" |

Judging by some of the words used to describe it, I would hazard a guess and say he is a "PICKER" People who go to Peoples houses and look through attics and sheds for "PIECES" they can make a profit off..... There is a few TV shows about this "American Pickers" Was the first
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate

"Ranger" with a lexan shell, Super Champ servo saver, and a biscuit tin mechanism box:
