Is there nothing that can't be copied?
Following on from recent postings concerning copying models this Ebay item just appeared on my screen.
231523672415
It's a 'Chinese Auto Replicas' model of a Changan, which is in itself a copy of a Suzuki! I have Auto Replicas as one of my searches, but Barry Lester's original company, not a Chinese name steal. This is nothing to do with the seller of course, who I'm sure is perfectly genuine, and the model does look nice, even if it's a model of a copy of a model with a copied name!

Wossat??
John have a look at the wossat? page in the latest edition of MAR Online. I think you will find the model in all its glory! Or at leasta s photographed by me anyway. It is a wossat so readers can give me more information about it since info on Chinese market products is limited.
