Corona RT40 taxi

I've always lusted after the Corona RT40, to the point that I almost convinced my family to trade in our comfortable, modern Toyota Vista for a restomodded Corona a few years back. To have one in scale was the next best thing. This is a 1/43 RT40 taxi by French firm Eligor.

Pros: beautiful details for the lights and interior, two-tone paintjob looks great inside the box.

Cons: fixed wheels, comes with a driver and taxi passenger with low detailing and awkward postures. 

For the price of under 1500, this is a bargain for a car that is rare in scale form.
