1950's Dinky base, Ixo MG Metro 6R4 wheels(!) scratch built interior and windows, P.E. wiper, side exhaust pipes. paid £5 for playworn toy, was not much paint to strip off, BRG repaint,I left the base rusty, you cant mess with such lovely patination! enhanced details (lights,oil cooler,fuel filler,bonnet straps) you learn a lot researching old race cars,the wheel rims bolted to the hub like motor scooter/Renault 4cv etc wheels, the centre spider was one piece with the drive shaft, Bristol also developed an air gun to undo all 5 wheel nuts at once at pit stops, and all 3 cars made the finish, won the class and index of performance, and repeated the feat in 1955 after cutting off the roofs...
