Arrived this morning is this fabulous little model of the High Performane Firenza. Affectionately known as a Droop Snoot Firenza, this is a resin bodyshell based on the Lone Star model with additional re-modelled front to represent the distinct nose cone. It has a full interior and new very life-like revolving wheels.

It joins my other resin model made in 1993 and 1 of 20 supposedly made.

The scale is about the same as a Matchbox Miniature.

Here is the other Firenza model in the pictures next to the Opel-Vauxhall Cavalier GSI.

I like that - I always thought that a Droop Snoot conversion on a Lone Star Finenza would look great.

Looking like a pretty regular issue but with the harder to find copper axles.

Seen in my local supermarket carpark (they'll most probably start putting prices up if this is the quality of future customers).
Not a model but perhaps one you'd like to add to your collection
