Presumably the same Aurora who made plastic kits?
This came in a mixed lot some years ago, I sold it on again.
I believe some of their cars ended up with Monogram. The Maserati 3500 GT I finished last summer was one of their own mouldings, was a pretty decent kit for something dating back to the '60s.
took me right back to early 70s as a kid bought same kit at hendon raf plane museum 1st kit got me into model makeing,
