POLICE

'PANDA' IMP

CORGI

506



Re-using the excellent Hillman Imp base model this is the Sunbeam Imp Police Panda car. It's a really nice model with a fun feature of folding rear seats and an opening rear window - I suppose Rootes Group (who made these cars - later Chrysler UK) were having an early stab at a three-door hatch - but gave themselves a handicap by putting the engine (Coventry Climax all alloy racing motor) in the back.

It's a shame it is so bashed up, but good ones fetch very high prices that I'm not usually prepared to pay.

DIE-CAST    SCALE    MODEL    WITH OPENING REAR WINDOW, DETAILED INTERIOR, POLICE DRIVER, JEWELLED HEADLIGHTS & FOLDING REAR SEATS
