I built this model on a winter afternoon out of sheer nostalgia for the type of model I used to build as a boy. As then it is built from a rather eclectic mix of parts that were at hand at the time. It is based on a design in the early 1950s set 4 manual. The model is a typical British sports car of the mid nineteen thirties to the nineteen fifties such as the M.G. Midget, Singer or Morgan. The Dinky Toy M.G. Midget shown below is from the rear cover of the Meccano magazine August 1957 the model was originaly introduced in 1955. The original manual instructions are shown below.
