There is one topless on ebay tough

. The one I am looking is the rally version with extra fog lights.

Ravi,

Thanks for the pictures. I bought the MGB GT MK II RALLY 1964 #83 one. here are the internet pictures.

And to partner her Austin Healey is to arrive in a while. I am also planning to club in Triumph TR4 to make a awesome trio.

Bye the way another item that is exciting me now is

Dear Patrons, friends & well-wishers,

It's time for our next issue of Inventions and Innovations. Moving beyond the mid-1950s, automobile manufacturers in the West were divided between keeping their noses above the water and coping with an overwhelming demand. It all depended on which side of the Atlantic they were located. Here is the link: V10-I1 Jan 2011.pdf - File Shared from Box.net - Free Online File Storage

This month we bring you close-up photographs of our Scale 18, 1936 Auto Union Type C by CMC of Germany. Intricately detailed with incredible attention to detail, every dimension of this model is worth zeroing in to.

We also thank Clyde's students Raghavendra V. and Pratheek P. for gifting us two scale models that have added a nice touch to our collection.

Best regards,
