Look what I got for Christmas!

The back of the box says with proper care, water and plenty of sunlight it should be full grown by early spring and be ready for ELKHART ROAD AMERICA for the 2014 racing season! I just ran out and bought a case of valvoline 20W 50W racing oil! Eat your hearts out!

So is the oil to feed the baby and make it grow ??
I got one that you just drop in water and it swells up to life size:wink-new::wink-new:. Bet mines ready before yours lol ..

Very nice model. UJB 143 later to become DD 300 as raced by John Chatham, "Mr. Big Healey"

What a cute little Austin. "He's got his Car-ther's eyes".

From the photos it looks like a very good model. What is the scale and who is the maker?

Great detail and overall quality

Drambouie,

How are you at changing its dippers or are you intending to have the bottom of the case reflect the floor under its father?

Really nice … Enjoy,

And I bet no accident is going to be just a few drops, either!

Ahhh, and here is my little pride and joy (but you think that at an age of 46, he'd would be toilet trained by now!)

. Sorry for the late reply, It is a "spark" model. 1:43 scale raced in La Mans 1960 by J.Sears and P.Riley VERY nicely detailed but the scale is too small for my taste. For the life of me, I don't know how they can detail it so finely at such a small scale. I also have one of those very large scale 1/8 Mongram Jaguar XKE still new in the box I never opened for many years. I had 2 and built one, still have that too!

. Changing Dippers? Well, it still has not leaked any 20W50w yet! However, I still have to change the dippers of the older brother sitting in the Garage!

It has much better detail then what the picture shows...don't know how they do it!
