Old car toys

This ones been bothering me for ages!! 
When I was young I got a pair of toy cars on Christmas that you drove into each other and all the bumpers/doors/wings etc fell off then you rebuilt them.
It wasnt "Smash-up-Derby" but similar, I'm sure one car was red and one was blue
Despite many hours of Googling I cant find the name of it! 
Anyone remember? was probably around the mid 1970's to the very early 80's

I remember one from the late 80's called "Crash Test Dummies" or something similar, had doors and panels that fell off when you crashed them. Not as satisfying as crashing a car made from Lego Technics but much easier to put back together afterwards 
They were coloured grey as I remember, had yellow stickers and a crash dummy sitting inside.
I remember one Christmas wanting a set of those so badly, never did get them. My best mate Adam got a set, I was sick with envy 
I think Dad just thought I was reckless enough already

Hey, there's a lack of 'equality' there! What if you're the younger brother and you always get the blasted Beetle? I hope there's a bias towards the Beetle when they hit each other?

Are you implying that to be a taxi driver you must be proficient at Stock Car Smash-up?
