Found it on FaceBook, one of those random things that pop up on your feed. Forgot where exactly.
Anyway, decided to buy one myself so went over and collected it this morning, very nice it is too. Limited edition of 1500 and they still have some available. The 1:1 car is now retired and living in a Scottish museum. He is trying to persuade Hornby to do his Ford Anglia next but I doubt that will come to fruition. Sadly his race cars are kept elsewhere so I didn't get to see them.
Martin Reynolds is a prominent local businessman and not short of a bob or two but I had no idea he raced until this popped up. The MRC logo on the roof is his main business which makes modular buildings and they sponsor our village football team. The 'Woodlakes' logo on the bonnet refers to a holiday park near me that he used to own which sold for over £5,000,000 recently. How to make a small fortune from motor racing - start with a large one!
