It's turning into an AUTOart Lamborghini week! An outstanding diecast again with opening features, plus poseable front wheels. Check out the opening vent flap on the front, used on the 1:1 to access the fuel filler cap (last pic). The '71 SV had drivetrain improvements and can be spotted from earlier P400s by the lack of "eyelash" trim at the headlights and slightly wider rear fenders. Only 150 SVs were made.

I have it and love it. Those AUTOart 1/43s were spectacularly detailed. I posted comparison pics with their 1/18s and you couldn't tell the difference.
