We are in the realms of objects of desire here. There was no way I or any of my friends could have owned one of these. There was a boy in the village who had one though; he was the Doctor's son and away at school most of the time. He had a room in the house just for his toys and the Corgis were lined up around the walls on shelves, still all of them, in their boxes (sad, anal or what?). I was shown his Ecurie Ecosse when I (very occasionally) went to play, but was never, ever allowed to touch it.
They still fetch silly money on eBay and I was not at all prepared to pay for a smart one. This is a good compromise. It is complete and everything works but is worn enough not to be too expensive. I just love the little vice on the workbench - that is brilliant detailing. The mint-in-box example below belongs to Chris Davidson.
The original vehicle upon which this is modelled is really interesting and worth finding out more about - follow these links to learn more: LINK LINK It is well worth searching on Google too as it is a well known and well documented vehicle.
