It was registered by BL dealers Patrick Motors Ltd - Birmingham - on August 3rd - 1981 and was ordered in this distinctive colour by company Chairman and MD Alexander Patrick who liked unusual coloured cars - especially bright green shades. He also chose the appropriate number plate - LOG 7X. It cost 6 -880 and was retained for their private museum - The Patrick Collection; an example of what most then believed would be the last mass-market UK-made sports car.
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. Please refer to the individual product page to find out the estimated size of the actual model you would like to purchase.
