| This is
another model from Chris Davidson's collection of excellent mint in box
later release Corgis. More excellent pictures taken in the stunning
mountain scenery of the French Alps.
At the time of
writing (August 2007) I have just made my 14th crossing in the channel
tunnel this year and when I pulled in to the carriage one of these was
behind me. The noise that V12 makes in an enclosed space like a train
carriage is beyond wonderful. I was once given a lift in one on a
blazing hot day in 1989 ( I was at a MENSA convention at Cambridge) and
it was my first experience of air conditioning in a car, very memorable.
The world has moved on - I recently bought a baby Citroen C1 for my kids
to learn to drive, just about the cheapest car on the market - even it
has air conditioning now.
However one of
these would find a home in my dream garage |
