Mick your right it really is amazing the different artists interpretations of these cars. I espescially love the USA blister and the artist drawing of the Lotus, just look at the short wheel track and the massive overhang of the wheel arches!! Brilliant!
I also note that the roller has missed the hot foiling on the rear wheel hub, nice again!

I am still not sure what a "Muira" is supposed to be at all ("Muira Puama" is apparently some kind of Brazilian tree), but these cards depict a Lamborghini Marzal...

Mick my eye sight is definately not what it was when i was younger. I hadn't realised that the wheel was back to front. At a glance it looked like it had missed the hot foil treatment. Certainly an unusual factory error!!
