Just got the Dodge Travco Team Lotus Bus by Spark. At first glance it's a beauty. Will be looking at it in better light tomorrow and hopefully get a few pictures taken

This is a great model. Spark aren't allowed to fit the
John Player decals in the UK. Apparently Trading Standards officers jump up and down if they see tobacco advertising on model vehicles as it causes the whole population to rush to the nearest shop for a packet of ciggies and start smoking again. I'm not sure where politicians live..I think it must be some sort of parallel universe as it's definitely not the real world.

Arrr so that's what's missing John! .......
I saw one of these a few weeks ago and thought somethings different to the photo of the real one in their catalogue!
Thanks for enlighting me John!
