Simca 1200

This one I got to give as a christmas gift to my friend who is restoring one of the last ones (probably the last sold but more research is being done) sold in scotland. His one is red but i wont be repainting this. Its in 1/24 and i got it from spain. It is in 1/24 and looks pretty well scaled to my eyes. None of the doors or stuff open. Appologies for it being in the plastic in the pics, as its a gift i didn't want to remove it from the packaging. I think I'll be hunting out another one of these for myself. For such a maligned car simply finding it in 24 or 25 scale was a pleasant surprise

Nice piece.  Looks like it is enclosed in an ice cube.

Thanks for sharing.  Hachette I presume?

It would have originally been supplied with a magazine in Spain, growing up in Spain i was going to purchase a few of these,as they do all the cars i grew up with, but €24.99 each made me think again,as I prefer to buy plastic models and not diecast
