If it is a model then the level of detail is incredible. The AA badge and the
size of the screws holding the grill surround are just too good. I think it's full sized.

Here's another Metalcraft 2 seater..

Hi
Or is the Hummer a manufacturers or advertising agency's scale model built specifically for photographic purposes? |

It certainly looks like that but I suspect it is a real vehicle. Here's another
of it with convincing reflections in its windows..

Can't help liking it but can't get any real idea about size...it may be made for a midget with slitty eyes to look through the windscreen?
Is that a surfboard or a tail? perhaps it sprouts wings, a sort of slitty slitty bang bang. |

Well, there are no seams apparent on the front end, which makes me think it's either fixed, which would mean no access to the engine if indeed it has one, or it's a flip front which would most likely be fibreglass.
That's definitely a surfboard.
It looks as if it's just a mock-up show vehicle. I can't see those front wheels turning... _________________ Don't run your fingers over my truck & I won't run my truck over your fingers!
