Matrix are usually strictly 1:43. How did they manage to oversize this one?

Yes, something is wrong here.

The model measures to a little over 160 scale inches wheelbase, whereas the Hispano K6 was available in 134.5" and 146.5". Nothing in the history of this car, which is at the Mullin Museum, suggests it has a stretched WB.

Keko, how does the wheelbase of the Franay Break compare with the K6 Chapron which you have pictured, they should be the same shouldn't they ?
