I must say, that is the largest giant metalflake paint job I've ever seen.

Very nice job, even the wheels are an excellent match. What is his Ebay name so I can search for his auctions?

Thanks

Paul

Looks like 1/43 to me, probably made from one of the new rally 'dinkies'.

Would be quite a challenge for him to make either of mine, especially the red one with its profiles arches etc. Would like to see him try though! Would be great to have a momento of my purple 2 litre to keep after its sold.
