It's a beautiful model, John. I wonder how it would look next to an example from Brooklin's
Canadian production? Progress has been made!

I'd like to see it next to the Bentley Embiricos.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

It's about the same size so the real car must be fairly big

Not in my collecting interest, but it is a lovely model, and your photos do the model full justice John. Initially, I didn't think the model would have much sales potential (That's before I'd seen it!). My first delivery batch sold out within a few days, and the second batch has gone now. Just shows how wrong you can be. Now I've got to wait until Brooklin get back.
