ZODIAC Exposed!

I have had this SF53 Ford Zodiac for some time. The base rivet was never spun.
So... I can take it apart and marvel at the construction.
Today, Mattel has imposed a four part assembly rule, for this model back then in England it was madness! (But in a good way!)

It's a five part model when you factor in the glazing unit. :D Then you need to count the suspension unit hubs etc. How many parts do we have now? :?

At least 14 separate parts

The spare tyre is technically a separate part which someone had to fit so does that count too :)

Probably Friday night and it was beer o clock. ;)

A great find for sure!
Always fun to see the guts, but usually it's not the innards of such a mint example. Good show!!!
