I've seen several of these types of models before where there's an aircraft fuselage of some description with big off roady tyres and a general mad Maxy feel to them, I was just wondering if there was a specific name for this style or not.... Thanks guys ;D

IMHO, it's a piece of (rather classic) Cyberpunk.

Maybe "Post Apocalyptic Cyberpunk".
Thanks guys, its the right style, but I've seen a few of these racers with aircraft parts used, but I couldn't find anything like it online for some reason
I believe it's inspired by a series of resin models called 'Junk Tank Rock'. Splitting hairs, but more dieselpunk than cyberpunk. I think the original racer was called the Talon and based on a Spitfire. A few here have had a go at something similar, puddingwrestler comes to mind but the pics are dead for me:
