Well, huge, if you count a body, window moulding, baseplate with wheels and a vac form interior as huge... lol.

A really, really grotty little Corgi 'The Saint' Volvo P 18OO.

Bought from Ebay as a total mess for a few quid.
Dismantled, stripped, cleaned, repainted and a new home made decal.

Actually, a very rewarding little 3 day project.
It began as a sad little toy heading to the end of its life and probably hitting the bin if I hadn't bought it.
It now sits on a shelf with my other Corgi/Dinky 'reclaims', along with a repro box.

If you've never rescued a pathetic little old toy, give it a try.
Great fun.

Roy.

Very nice BigGrin

Roger moore then ian ogilvy with his xjs - wonderful programmes.

Last episode i saw with roger moore was the loch ness monster episode with fultan makay as the game warden.

I love thise 1960's shows because i think in those days they had a pool of 5 actors and they seemed to appear in just about everything BigGrin
