Bats in the belfry again! - BAT 5 pics
I got the heads up from Harvey and after a diversion into 33.3 Le Mans cars, I found the new BAT 5 from a US source. This is another release from AutoCult in their Masterpiece range (via another German store).

My SMTS is packed somewhere so I got the Bizarre out from 12 years ago.

Looking at the AutoCult, I am sorta glad I did not spring for the more expensive Looksmart several years ago! The Bizarre is more bluish and wider.

The Bizarre has a lower stance and seems meaner.

Which one is more true to the original?

The new AutoCult seem closer in color, in stance, and in width. It was 1953 so a pretty high road clearance was probably common.

Thanks Karl - always missed previous issues of the BATs now need to bite the bullet.
