Cool, more Mini stuff.

Okay, so, anybody know if this is going to be a straight reissue with added rally parts? Or backdated to reflect the 1961 mentioned in the description?

To clarify…aren't both Tamiya and ROG versions 1964 model years? And didn't the ROG version contain some parts for a different version (shift lever)?

Also, why are the seats two different colors on the box? And non-flare? I will have to do some Google work to learn a bit more...

The description says 'Monte Carlo 1964', so I would assume it's a '64 :) I looks to be an update of the regular kit w/ the rally parts added.

The driver's seat is probably a racing seat..

33 EJB was the 1964 Monte Carlo rally version, the Revell bodyshell is correct for a 1964, the seats on the real thing were not only different colours but different designs as well .....

A '05 Impala in 2014? Makes no sense.

Rebox of the old Revell Snap-Tite...I guess someone at RoG wanted a semi-recent American police car in their catalog..

Maybe it's to test the waters, just a guess.

fact is since the takeover by Hobbico, lost more of American content makes it into the European lineup

I think technically they're 4th qtr 2013 releases, but they're doing limited edition reissues of the 1/16 scale Karmann Ghia coupe and the Rally version of the 1/24 Unimog. Probably hit the States in Jan or Feb.

Speaking of Unimogs, it would be cool to see RoG tool up a vintage one...

Lassen Projects did a vintage Unimog and was planning another one, but sadly there initial kit tanked...maybe his idea came to early.
