Many thanks, Harvey. This grill shows the way it should be cast. Interesting!

I'm afraid I'm starting to agree with you, Albert.

Compare the Spot-On with the TW and you'll where the latter came from...
TW models are still being produced and regularly appear on Ebay, some selling for surprisingly high sums. Most are based on existing, often obsolete diecasts and take a lot of work to build. I've made a few over the years, the best being a Healey roadster that was based on a Mikansue.

Never knew there was a Herrington version of the SP250 (Dart)
I learn something new from the forum all the time. And for those looking for a reasonable priced SP250 roadster there are nice ones from Oxford Diecast currently available.
