In the context of the recent Morestone Austin Countryman thread, I commented that the bodyshell would not look out of place as a first series 1-75 and suggested this could - just perhaps - have been the result of Jack Odell giving another toy company a helping hand.
I can think of several other examples of manufacturers with otherwise badly-proportioned and ugly models suddenly coming up with something of (almost) Lesney quality. I have some ideas of my own, but I'd like to throw this thread open to other Members and invite them to propose models (with at least one photograph please!) which stick out like a sore thumb from amongst an otherwise, at best, lacklustre range of offerings.
