That's not it is it?! Let's see it then Mr Y. Lurve Mercs. Strange it's only ever the 49s that get the lead sled treatment. Very cool though.

That's not bad for less than a fiver! Nice colour. So when do you start on the real thing? I'm looking for a model '27 Ford Track T if you come across one. "Muscle Machines" do a range of die-cast cars with cartoon-like huge engines in them, (I've got the '32 coupe one already), but I can't find a site for them.

Yeah, that's the ones, but not the model I'm looking for. Can you find an importer/retailer for them?
