[CMOTD]

Mine arrived yesterday from Pendles. A few niggles apart from the missing front/rear quarter lights which featured on every 60s car so you could flick your fag ash out easily without winding down the whole window.

As they did extensive research on this one and the car is readily available for a full set of photos why did they put the registration number on the bumper instead of the plate in the middle? I have watched it many times at Goodwood and the reg plate is definitely in the usual central position.

Any idea what the two red bits underneath the front bumper are? 

As has been pointed out elsewhere the car does not sit flat on the plinth for some reason, doesn't bother me as the car is for use on the track but the collectors won't be at all pleased.

Haven't been able to run mine properly yet because there is a godawful noise coming from the gears so, as usual, strip the thing down to fix the QC faults which should not be there on a £50 car. The rear tyres also seem too close to the wheel arches for comfort and no 60s car ever had headlights that bright!

Apart from that I quite like it, just need something to race it against now.
