Where did you get it??? Sounds like a near perfect match for Freddy's
specification! I would love to have one to add to my collection of
miniatures! I need to get some sort of case for all of these - they have
taken over the fireplace amntle and bookshelves in my living room.
Currently:
In 1:18
5 Citroen 2CV
Citroen DS-19
Renault 4CV
6 VW Beetles
VW Microbus
Jaguar MK II
VW Karmann Ghia
Sundry Porsche and Ferrari models
Several American Muscle cars
1:43 Spitfire
I really want the 1:18 TR6 and TR3's but have not found them cheaply enough
yet.
