Though not on their website yet, Matrix will be producing "Docker Daimler" (Stardust).
I have seen pre-orders on numerous European retail websites, but only photos were of the actual car. I wonder ed why Matrix hadn't it on their website. I had written Matrix a couple months ago, telling them that I've seen the pre-orders ( I did pre-order one), and Matrix wrote to them and received a quick response saying: "Yes, this model will indeed be released. For our website we wait for the first colour sample so we can place it on our homepage. Thought some of you may like this info, esp. those who have a fondness for these extravagant cars. I have the Golden Zebra, but am still looking for the Blue Clover.

Lady Docker was criticised severely in the 1950s over here in the UK for her extravagant tastes and profligate spending, at a time when the rest of us were struggling under post war austerity. Her husband was the big boss man at Daimler.

You're very welcome. I don't post much on this board, but I hope that when I do it is helpful to others.
