A friend of mine sent me this image and I was wondering if anyone here could shed any light on it. Looks to be 1960s. Was it expensive for the time? The oval says 1/32 scale but the strip looks bigger. The description for the strip says Jag XKE and Mercedes 300SL but pictures look more like a Cobra and, oddly, a Nash Healey(!) Thanks steve
