A little unexpectedly for a Minichamps model, this is a great piece.
Greatly detailed engine bay (a full engine with seetrough spaces around from top to bottom), relatively detailed interior with lovely carpeting, well opening trunk (also softly carpeted) and a detailed underside with a working soft suspension.
The wheels are also magnificent and despite the rather small size, they hide nice brake calipers fixed over rotating brake discs.
The opening doors, bonnet and trunk are also pretty solid and particularly the bonnet has quite a lovey mechanism (when closing first shut down and then push back).
The only two dowsides are some small paint blemishes - though they are hard to notice on the gorgeous metallic green hue - and not quite as detailed an interior as more modern models have (the plastic roof lining has visible mounting points to the metal, for instance).
I guess this model shows how good Minichamps used to be and why it gained fame. Definitely recommend.
