I picked this model up on eBay a few years ago - I really didn't know much about the actual car at the time, but I found its overall styling to be very interesting. I picked up the open convertible version at the same time. It's a bit visible in a few shots (more on it later) Anyway, I do have several Lansdowne Austin models that I bought just before or since this one. All of which, are interesting and make a nice little group within my collection.
