PIC: Well, the second model is a logical follow-up to the first!
With the first 1:43 model being the 1998 EX255 as "not" driven by Andy Green in Bonneville, this in Hollywoodspeak is the prequel.
Not a Rover project, but factory supported nevertheless: the MG EX-F (later also called the EX253) as driven by Terry Kilbourne in 1997 to attain 217 mph.
We are happy with the improvements over the first model. It is incredible what you learn when doing something like this, and while it does not really become easier a second time round, you apply what you have learned and then learn even more! A great experience!
