.) tool for opening bonnets
.) weight approx. 260g.
.) approx. 350 individual parts
[Source: enclosed informative booklet by Schuco]

Condition: immaculate

Evaluation: A great original car, but a great high-end model? Engine and sections under the front hood are very detailed and accurate applied. Painting is crispy and well done. The only thing which you can criticise are the fragile bonnets for the intake of the wind screen which is mounted on the removable hood. There is a lot of pressure on them so they can get lose in an easy way. Not at all a CMC or an Exoto but a really amazing addition for collecting models of iconic race cars of the past.
