Excellent model, but what has happened to the mascot!

The cat's nose is on the grille, probably smelling the quality of the chrome.
In the mean time I have pushed the mascot in its right place.

I thought perhaps it was afraid of falling off and was trying to move backwards without you noticing.

UPDATE ON THE VAUXHALL FIRENZA...

The Blue car had vanished from Oxford's media, their 2014-2015 review does not show it, their 2016 new release schedule does not show it, instead, they now show the 1800SL version in Flamenco Red.

What is going on I do not know, can't see how I would have missed it's release because I was only at the Windsor toy fair a matter of Days ago and there was no sign of any Blue Vauxhall Firenza models there with the dealers of Oxford.

The Red version is schedulled as a Q2 release, around the Second half of the Year, so we will just have to wait and see.

I just found on the OD website that these three models, without having been produced, are now quoted as Sold Out?

What kind on nonsense is that.

That means all the stock has gone to pre-orders, some of which should be dealers, so there may be some turn up in retail shops any Day now!

I don't know my Oxfords from my elbow, but is this the same Firenza?

I don't know how big the stock is but they're going quickly, the 36 that the seller has sold so far have all gone in the last two days.
