1/18 scale Crossfire Roadster prototype?
Okay so I saw this on ebay in Germany and talked the guy into shipping to Canada. I was waiting to see it before I posted as I was not sure what I was actually going to get. Well Santa dropped it off early today and it is Very Nice!! It is in a custom wooden box with wheel chocks. The inside bottom comes out and has 4 wooden rounded feet and looks like a display stand. The seller didn't have much info on it but said it was made of tin and looks like a prototype. The car weighs in at about 4 pounds!! Detailed interior but no windshield, the doors and hood do not open and only the front wheels rotate (don't turn) Looks like it was made of a solid brick of metal -metal tires and wheels! Here are some photos from the ebay posting and it looks even better in real life. I told the wife that this will be the last one I buy (she has been very patient with my collecting!) -don't think I can get better than this. Not sure if any other information available out there but think it is one of a kind!
Looks like a chrome wrap but its all metal!
Metal headlights and grille
Only marks on the box - on the top -looks like I could scrape them off
two partitions come out for access to model and the seperate base has wheel chocks to hold it from moving
No brand name on it - metal wheels
Fairly detailed interior
Yup - those are metal tips
No windshield but it looks like I could use one from a coupe and slide it into place
