Regarding that one, I must admit to being surprised at how much of a premium a simple 'special edition' can carry. But then, people turned their humble Morris 1000s into look-a-like 1,000,000s back in the day, so it must count for something!!

C'est la vie!

Silver inscribed key fob - chunky, feels real.

All the goodies are a lot nicer than the shoddy later special extras, like stick-on tape zebra stripes of the Torslanda, and a special lower power engine.

Well chaps, let's hope Brandino gets back to us with some news of that special car - although I rather suspect we will not hear any more.
