Dom's verdict This stands out for its sheer gusto and value

for money. Based on the car raced by Jacqueline Evans de

Lopez in the La Carrera Panamerica, the model looks right in

both shape and stance. Paint finish and racing decor are

delightful, the interior is super and wheels and tyres impress.

Dom's verdict Oxford Diecast is fast becoming the leading

maker of UK outline bus and coach models and, judging by this

newly tooled edition, I can see why. Pin sharp moulding and fine

details, such as the wheel trims, are complemented by superior

paint and lettering. And all at a very competitive price.

Dom's verdict Like its Southdown brother above,

this Grey Cars version sports a fantastic paint finish, with

impressively distinct definition between shades and very sharp

lining. Similarly, the design of construction permits perfect,

flush glazing and an ample view of the interior.
