The orginal car started life as an M100, This car was nicked out of the Lotus carpark and became the M200 concept..

Also Lotus/Maisto made models.. Several different colours instead of just the old Shell blue or yellow one.. Hens teeth and all that..

Yeah my dad has just drilled the rivets out of the 1/56 (ish) scale James Bond one and is spraying it white like mine, I only have one of the Maisto ones but I have been put on to a source of new ones for £3! Yours looks cool! Chris

Hello John,
What size is this model and where did you get it? I've got several of the shell blue model ones but am looking for some others. Was gonna take some of them apart and change their colours, but this picture has different wheels!

Cheers.

I am reliably informed that there is a 1:24 Spanish model out there although I have yet to find it, there is also a James Bond Junior action figure car that is about 11" long that holds toy figures just a bit bigger than Star Wars men. again I have a picture of one but I havent seen one! On a general Lotus note, have you seen the Cararama Lotus models of the original Elan and the original Europa? Loads of colours and about a quid! Spot on!
