Once again Jason comes up trumps with a selection of silly models... :D

As John says the Iso is mad, totally bonkers but a great factory oops!

The Lambo has to be the choice item and quite a hard model to find with those wheels.

Wow very interesting selection of unusual models Jason. So glad to see you picking up the #33 with dot dash wheels, a tough one to track down.

Thank you for the comments, I feel as well this is a really tough one to find Alex. This is the only one I have seen in the flesh. J

Agreed, I am so glad a got mine when I did even if it was an expensive BIN on eBay. It was at the time the only example I had seen for sale so I jumped at it. The only other example I have seen in recent years was the one Rob sold at his Vectis auction in 2012.

That really is very nice indeed. I wonder why they tried white and yellow together?

That's brilliant Jason, are there any casting differences? (This is probably not relevant, but I thought I read somewhere that certain colours (white,yellow, etc) were useful for highlighting small casting flaws. Or am I making that up? :)

This is quite correct John, colours can highlight flaws. The colour grey is the most used colur for highlighting casting faults, surface abrasions and even the flow of the the paint over various contours.

For how many years has the real car world been using a grey primer!!
