Hi
Is it just me or does that photo look like it is a scale model?

Could the advert have been placed on the Hemmings site on Sunday Morning?

Oops - I missed the April 1st connection!

If it's a model, it's an exceptionally good one, but there's nothing to scale it with.
I think it's real - a bit expensive for a Dinky Toy.

But I may be wrong................

my first thought was a model, but if you look at the pics of the engine and the interior, there appeasrs to be a lovely patina about it that I don't think tyou could imitate in a model. if it is real, can I have it please?

Hi
I think you are both probably right now.
Look at the 3rd from bottom picture on here.
