Gosh! Lucas...
Looks like I could jump straight in it and drive away, well done Lucas!!!😄
I've had a couple of the real ones myself...
One of the ones I had was an MGC, nearly exactly the same, but with a lump and a teardrop bulge in the bonnet, the lump was to accomodate a relocated radiator, the bulge for bigger and more carbs.
The MGC had a straight 6, 3 litre engine reason for lumps and bumps in bonnet.
It was produced between 1967 until it was stopped in 1969 only 9,002 were made, wish I still had mine!!!
Who produced that kit Lucas???

Thanks, guys! Steve--the kit is the old Aoshima kit (re-popped by Revell and Airfix). They make both the chrome grill and rubber bumper MGBs. I got the rubber bumper kit, as it has the parts to build both versions. The kit is hard to find these days--I had to hunt on eBay for a few months before finding one that was not insanely expensive. The kit comes with wire wheels, so I got the white metal Rostyle wheels from South East Finecast. I also got the mirrors from SE Finecast, as the kit comes with round ones instead of the square ones used in the '71 model.
