I've been sitting on the fence on this one. Your pictures have convinced me to act on this one.

Bob...I also waited a while to pull the trigger on this wagon, but I am glad I finally did...the model is finely finished and the details, like the back hatch hardware and chrome gas cap are nicely done.
I am glad I helped you lighten up your wallet...misery loves company!

I too have been on the fence on this one and also the '47 Allard K1 by Kenna. Just can't seem to get behind these yet.

Here's a real Allard Safari which is at Gaydon Museum

This is in the part of the museum they call the store and among the cars are rarities like this plus many one-off prototypes from Jaguar and others. The Safari is a big car. Pete Kenna started a brass master for this one but I don't think he completed it.
As you can see, the cars are packed closely together and the light isn't great, making it difficult to get decent photographs.
