Pretty neat stuff John. The concept drawings are incredible. 

This car always puts me in mind of the Disco Volante in the James Bond movie, "Thunderball" from 1962. The bad guy, Largo, had a yacht that separated when speed and escape were needed. Named, Disco Volante.

Very nice Karl, thanks for sharing. Is this a recent purchase or something you had awhile?

@sizedoesmatter I have been collecting 1/43 Alfas and 1/23 Togi Alfas for 50 years.   I love the Disco,

but I did not know this Milestone even existed until I bought it this summer!  Was in the collection of a well-known collector-manufacturer of detailed 1/43.

 Marx did a large scale toy Disco in the 50s or 60s!  Made in the US!  WoW!  Got this just a couple years ago.

Sorry Tony but Thunderball was after Goldfinger.
