Oh dear, this old fellow's in a bit of a sorry state. The customary breaking off of the plastic suspension lugs is only 3/4 complete. The nearside rear spring seems to be still intact, however the offside rear wheel is disappearing inside the car somewhere.

I got this one at the Chester toy fair. I have been searching for one of them for ages and it just never comes up on ebay. the MGB and MGC with spoked wheels are quite common, but this one is really rare. In fact I think this is the first one I've ever seen. There was one in nice condition at the toy fair for £30 or so, but this one was less than a fiver. The rear window was missing but I had one left over from my MGB rebuild. Sorting the suspension and getting rid of the racing numbers would smarten it up no end.
