This is a real 355.

Saw a MR2 kit car 355 on Bangers and Cash the other week. TBF it looked pretty good but sounded crap. Even if it sounded decent , you would still know that you’re driving an ancient MR2 not a Ferrari. Frankly I’d be embarrassed and would rather drive an old MR2. Oh that and the fact he wanted £15k for it.

I've just bought a tiny tiny one of those, 1/87 scale to be precise, for my model railway.

It came in a bundle of four Škodas. I was after the Favorit obviously, the other three are a bit modern for my railway but it's my railway so I can do what I want. I'm not one of these people that every detail has to be right, rivet counters as they're known. 

Also included were a nice dark blue mk1 Superb.

A silver mk1 Octy

Bit dull, that one but you used to see loads of them around. 

And of course, the Favorit.

It's older than the others, I mean the model itself obviously so it's bare plastic. If I thought I could get it apart without breaking it I'd repaint it to look like mine but I'm not brave enough to try yet.

Looks gorgeous! I've got a pair of 1/87 ones, laser (or dynamic) blue and whatever the silver was called (see Shite in Miniature II). Oh, and a 1/43 estate in Corrida Red which is going on my "diorama" which is the posh name I'm giving my second project since it won't feature any form of railway, just houses and shops... and some nice 90s/00s tat like the stuff I grew up around.

Was the design brief for that thing to take an FX4 black cab and straighten out all the curves?

Sable brown looks great on the series 1 Jag. Sir William Lyons chose it for his own car.

It is no secret that I love brown cars, especially Roman Bronze.

My dad had a Roman bronze cortina (mk III). It was the 70s and due to strikes there was a shortage of new cars. One dealer had the car he wanted (2.0XL), but when he was told what colour it was , he said he didn’t want a brown car. The salesman , persuaded him it looked really good on the car as opposed to in the brochure, so we went to see it.  He was right especially the glittering bits in the sun ( we’d never had a metallic colour before), and my Dad bought it.

I'd have that over a silver one any day. 

I do prefer the darker grey/silver colours better than the 007 bright silver, but to me they are the only colours that look right. Certain cars look better in a certain colour even if it’s a cliche. Ferrari , red , Subaru ,  blue, Honda Jazz, NHS prosthetic beige…
