Harv G. already posted pictures of this model, but mine arrived from Barcelona this morning and it's so pretty I thought I would add a few more pics.

Wheels and red-line tyres are nice and the body stripes are tidily done.

And just like on their AMC "The Machine" they have taken the trouble to reproduce the hood-mounted tach.

 Not only is it an unusual subject (indicating someone has done some serious research), but compared with the casual inaccuracies and omissions you can find even on more expensive models, they do seem to make a real effort to get the details right.

A delightful little model for 30 Euros ($32) including tax and shipping from Spain.  Amusingly enough, the text on the box telling me it's not a toy and I shouldn't lick the tyres unless I am over 14 years of age is in Portuguese - apparently part of a consignment originally meant for De Agostini Brazil.

@mg-harv - Hey, 'arvey...  I just noticed!  How did you get PCT to put your name on the hood?  "I am 'arv"???

They did a really good job on this one and their product seems to be improving over time as well.  Great value IMO.

Nice close-ups Graeme. Yes, replace the wipers and antenna, use pad-print chrome, and it could pass for a $200 hand-built. The Royal Bobcat badge next to the door handle is also very well done.
