Nice Capri thank you. Looked like the doors would open on the cortina but they don't. Repaint for the 205 and cortina at some point (measured in days, weeks, months)... Cheers again @Datsuncog...

Datsuncog Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Yeah, I would go for blue... (Angry priest optional) I think the lack of opening doors on your Cortina indicates it came as one half of a set; seems Lesney often used pared-down older castings to keep their toys affordable. The all-orange Capri also likely came as a twin pack with a trailer - the mainline Capris came with black bonnets, so again a ha'penny was saved. The 205 does look pretty good as it is!
