Here's my take on the great Revell Miss Deal. I added chrome backs to the headlights then dropped clear varnish into them to give a pleasing yellow shine. I painted on the rear lights and threw away the push bar (foot) which to my mind just looked silly - and she does have a starter motor so it's not needed! I also added rear supports to the roll cage and moved the steering wheel and seat to a left hand drive setup. I cut down a dash panel with a couple of instruments from an old F1 kit and added that and also made a rear window 'cos it looks better that way! I threw away the two-part body support strut as it looked clumsy and I could not fathom how and where it was supposed to fit. I also had to lower the entire cage and do some sanding of the front internal frame to get the stance just right - I dislike 'nose-up' gassers and street freaks! Let me know what you make of the stance I arrived at (looking at you Bill!) I've wanted this model since I was 15 years old - finally got one fifty years later. Not perfect but I love it ? The kit is showing it's age but I thoroughly enjoyed building it - and it looks great on display with the Vette and the Charger.

PM sent A lovely thing to behold!

Just got a PM from Michael (Thanks!) so all is well?

Thanks for checking Peter. Keep hoping all's well ?

I hope all's well with Michael as this thread seems to have gone a bit quiet and he's not responded to the PM I sent a while back for this quiz. Are you OK, Michael?

Nice! PM sent,

I've also PM'd.? Hope everyone on the forum is well Cheers, -Don.

I thought I knew too, but it ain't one of them. I hope you were right, whatever you PM'd, Bill! Cheers, -Don.

Don't give up on us Michael! Cheers, -Don.

The Magnificent Seven!?

I've been contracting for over 20 years now, it seems it's us rather than the permanent staff who have the motivation to get stuff done - if we don't, we don't get counselling and training we just get given our marching orders! I'm now 64 and busier than ever.

I should have got this as it is so familiar to me. Christmas brain fade. Happy New Year, Auto-quizzers! Cheers, -Don.

Easiest one yet for me! Nice car. Cheers, -Don.

Keen to know what it is but right now I have no idea.

Fair comment, thanks Michael.. Cheers, -Don.

Do you not like engineers? I wonder if they do typos like yours? The point is not to give clues. Peteski's comment is a borderline clue. But the car's homeland is surely where it's home is. This one lives in the States, or did once. But whatever, I'd have one as a shopping car. Looks like a gas. -Don.

So it's most likely an EMW. Thanks Michael!

I guess if we knew the location it would give us a clue as to which it was! East or West...

I'd rather have the one on it's left (or on it's right as you look at it).

Would be OK with a wider set of these on it:

Thanks Rob. I didn't kinow these wheels were standard on the 300ZX but I do know the 240 was much earlier, my point was that the 300 is not as good-looking as the 240. Cheers, -Don.

Looks like its been in a minor accident. Riding too high on dreadful wheels too. It's not a 240!

722 - and Trevor, it's Sir Stirling not Sterling!?

What's happening? I can't see where this has originated. I can't see where anyone has spoiled the quiz recently. Was some stuff deleted? Please enlighten me. Cheers, -Don.

Maybe Mr. Callum had been dreaming of the Toyota Supra but forgot where the engine was supposed to go?
