    Autoart's most ridiculous model

    I bought this limited edition model a year or so back just because it is so damned stupid. Yes, it is well made with leather straps and budget locks to close the bonnet and is also very well detailed as well as unusually being 1:12 scale but, and here's the point, can you tell me why it is so ridiculous?

    It's actually two halves that separate into a cologne bottle?

    OKV 3? Is something different about the OKV 3 car?
    EDIT: Google tells me that the OKV 3 car was actually number 1.

    Only thing I see is it looks like the front end is quite a bit higher than it should be.

    I had a 1:43 model of the same car, with the plate "376SG".
    not saying mine it's right, just saying. I was more interested in the car itself rather than in the specific unit.

    The wheels are oversized?

    I've also had a problem with Autoart models actually. I have a yellow Carrera GT, and the paint actually fades after about a year. Apparently, it's a problem with all the yellow Carrera GTs, that AA makes.

    Henk got it staraight away. At a price not far short of £300 they made the works 1954 car as a long nose, not a short nose. Strangely, the car is now selling over list if you can find one because of this!
