This is another model I have wanted for a few months, so I took a shot on an auction a few days ago. The funny thing is the song 'Nuages,' by Django Rheinhardt was playing when I placed the bid and I could see someone in the south of France, just after the war, riding to their beach property on the southern coast in this amazing automobile. Waxing nostalgic, am I? Oui.

When she arrives I shall take more photos of her.

Oui! Congrats! Great little model. There were a couple versions of it. The frog skin interior is leather on one version and something else on the other. My example has the leather. Maybe someone will weigh in to tell us what the other is. DM used to do this too. Their fifties Ferrari Testa Rossa has leather in one iteration and plastic in the other.

@perrone1 My Danbury Jaguar has the leather and the seller told me about the other that was a full seat in plastic.
