YES!  A beautiful model!  The two-tone color scheme is a knock-out!  Glad I jumped on this one when DM released it.  Your pics John, highlight it nicely!

Excellent photos of another DM home run.

In hindsight, DM usually put out home runs.  There were a few minor issues on a very few cars, but they usually nailed to precision each model they did.  I also liked FM, but their record of always getting the model right, wasn't always there.  None the less, both Mints are so dearly missed still today, a dozen years after they stopped producing 1:24 scale diecast.  Oh the memories, and so glad we have the models to keep them alive.

Stunning color combo that sure commands attention.  Someone in my area has this exact same car in restored condition; I see it once or twice a year.
