I know the kits you mean, my bro had one or two a little while back. I think I have some Penguin toy racers, which I think was part of Frog??

interesting stuff, these 2 racers are plastic bodied with metal bases, powered by elastic band Cool They aren't kits though - could they be different to whats in your book?
