However - Unett developed the car (and his driving - which led to 3 British Touring Car Championships) until it became a successful club racing machine; winning the Freddie Dixon Trophy in 1964. After racing - it passed through several owners before being purchased by Simon Goldby in 1972 - who used it as his everyday car until 1976 then garaged it. Having learnt about the car's unique history - he began a restoration in 1995 which was completed in 2000. Simon sold the car to current owner John Willshire in 2005 and it has since become very well known as John has displayed it at the Goodwood Revival Earl's Court Motor Show recreation and many other events.
Diecast models are manufactured to various scales based on measurements taken from the actual vehicles. The rule to remember is the higher the scale number, the smaller the model!
So, 1:2 scale quite ltierally means it is 1/2 (half) the size and 1:4 scale means it is 1/4 (quarter) the size. Here is a rough guide to the size of our models although this will vary depending on the size of the actual vehicle. Please note that the scale and size of models differs per department.
