Corgi Ghia L6 VS Automodello Ghia new issue

How do they compare in scale? I believe the Corgi is slightly smaller than 1:43 and wondered if the new release is more to the correct scale.
Thank's In advance.

Where would I find a picture of an Automodello Ghia, and where could I purchase one? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Strangely it was not on the Automodello website, where I looked.

Thanks-that looks like a picture of a real car. I guess there are no pics of the scale model yet.

If a modeller can produce this styling excercise, why not the '63 Chrylser Turbine

If they say it is 1:43rd scale then it jolly well should be ....

BTW the Corgi Toys version is NOT 1:43rd scale and is indeed a smaller scale.
