Grabbed the Facel Vega after John Bonos recent "Something different" post on the car. Had my eye on one for a while and Johns post tipped me over. Its OK, very cheap, around $20US. No engine and nothing opens, poorly detailed interior and molded on door handles and wheel spinners. To quote Basil Fawlty "but all else Ok?". Yes actually, beautiful paint (why do none of my 50+ Hachette et als have rash?) and it will sit face forward in the cabinet showing that stylish front end.
Had Jumajo throw in the Renault 16 as well. They sold quite well over here. Close to the most comfortable car I've ever sat in.

Both look great! The Vega looks exceptional, not 'cheap' at all in these pics! Congrats on two terrific picks!

Nice catch Geoff. The only model I have of a Facel Vega is in 1/18 scale.
