Couple of the last English made ones.

My Monteverdi Hai's
Orange with black base, I've a knacker one with unpainted base too.
Silver one is Rallye Royale variant and is Hong Kong cast.
Not sure how you guys feel about Super GT's but the gold & green ones are English, the white is Chinese. Model code is BR15/16. Gren one should have a gold flash, but its been rubbed off

I think this is technically #14 but fits better here.
-vetrad

It was number 14 in the USA in 1981 and 1982, but if UK codes are used as the basis here, 3d is where it belongs.

3d Monteverdi Hai (1973-77)
-johnnypimp

Therefore "USA 1981-82" should be added here.
