VAUXHALL FIRENZA / MAGNUM DROOP SNOOP ?

[M5 Russ]

Did anyone ever make a Vauxhall Firenza / Magnum Droopsnoop model in any scale ?

I can only recall seeing a really small-scale diecast one (forget the name of the manufacturer now) although probably one of the specialist white metal kit people (John Day, Grand Prix Models, Mikansue etc) may have done one.

A search for 'Firenza' in the 'Toys and Games' section of eBay turned up nothing, but a Google search for 'Vauxhall Firenza Toy' brought this page up:

Lone Star Flyers must be the maker I was thinking of. Think they were 1/66 scale or thereabouts.

ETA - Here's another useful link i found:

For a nice 1/32 slot car body of the Baby Bertha Firenza try:

Betta and classic have a huge range of slot car bodies in resin or lexan - they need work but do make nice models if you are handy.

By heck I'd forgotten those - do you know, I reckon I must have raced one in the '70s!
