What a fantastic piece of modelling, all the detail is splendid, bodywork, engine and interior. The door-tops are great, the usual trick is to pretend the windows are wound down and just to provide a door bottom - and there's an interior door trim. Look inside - the interior is beautifully modelled.

This is a jewel - I'm so proud to own it. These guys were not just supreme toymakers they were true engineers on a miniature scale, it's such a shame these skills are lost - or more accurately, no longer available in million unit runs at 4s 11d a go.

When I spotted the blue one on eBay I had to have it. You hardly ever see the blue one, but look closely at the pictures, this one is really not well put together, it has even managed somehow to lose it's dashboard and steering wheel, I still love it though.
