Here is another weird one - made by SMTS but totally unmarked.  Arrival Electric van - a few real prototypes were made before the company in the UK went out of business (2021-22). I assume they wanted SMTS to make the promos but only a few 1/43 prototypes were made. Recently found at the back of the factory and sold to me! I don't collect vans or electric cars, but I had to have this one. Very heavy and cold to the touch, so I think it has white metal parts...  The factory described it as "Resin body with metal parts"

Wiki has a good background on the company...

That EV van is pretty cool AND rare...   but rarer than a 1/64 Brooklin?  🙄 🙄 🤔 🤔
