I've always been drawn to prestigious cars.
As a kid I'd get excited by Rollers, Bentleys and Daimlers.
When I started collecting die cast I was the same. Prestige caught my eye on a few occasions.
Here are larger Corgis and such. The blue one is even called an Opel Senator.
My favourite is the slick black Toyota Crown at the end. It's full of bad guys brandishing silencers. It's based on a James Bond movie.
Have you got a favourite prestigious car?
Do you own a real one?
I'll (Mike) hazard a guess that the Toyota Crown is an Eaglemoss model, from You Only Live Twice.
ReplyDelete-The chase car that gets picked up by a helicopter with an electromagnet and dumped in the bay!
I loved the fact that many of the cars in that series had sculpted occupants, as opposed to just being the car.
I only have one or two examples, but I love my Goldfinger pick up truck, with the crushed car cube in the back and Odd Job in his hat driving!
You're right Looey. After looking it up that's what it is.bits a slick saloon for sure, full of either agents or bad guys. I can't tell. Theyve got silencers!
